Any updates in red.. priority jobs in bold..
- Fit the chunkier cleat bought at Widley boat jumble (in 2014!) on the fore deck - low priority
- Fit mid-ship cleats - low priority
- Navigation lights - low priority
- Bilge pump(s??)
- Fit anchor chain hawse pipe - low priority
-
The gel coat is original but is getting thin to non-existent in places -
I will not paint her (that way lies madness) but I do need to
stop further UV damage to places where it is thin - winter '22/'23 I roughly colour matched some off the shelf external paint
and patched some of the worst spots as an experiment - it has worked a
treat, so I need to do some more...
- New washboards - maybe a single board instead of two?
- I was looking at the cabin wiring the other day and while it all works, and is mostly tucked away, neat it isn't - some ducting perhaps, and I need to label it better in the switch box..
- Standing rigging - this was last done in July 2013, but she's not had heavy usage in the interim; we had one year not in use (COVID), and one year where we only had half season (ditto), so it may not really need doing this year - I will give it a good check though, particularly the forestay as that always gets a hammering when you have a roller furler
- Replaced 2 cap shrouds, and 2 pairs of lower shrouds, in 4mm 1/19 stainless steel wire with new 5/16th rigging screws (Swage stud to Fork) and new swage eyes.
- Replaced the split backstay in 4mm 1/19 stainless steel wire using a triangular plate with new bottle screw and new eyes and forks
- Replaced the forestay in 6mm 1/19 stainless steel wire (the fitting on the lower part of the roller furling needs a swaged eye with a diameter of 12mm which is only available to fit 6mm wire. ) with new eye at the top of the forestay and new stud or bottle screw at the lower end.
- Boom/sail cover may need replacing - I bought it in 2019, and compared with the previous one it is in far better condition than the other one was at the same age. The previous one lasted 6 years, this one is 6 years old this year, albeit we had a year of Covid where it didn't get a lot of UV.
