Winter job list 2026-2027

  Any updates in red.. priority jobs in bold..

  1. Fit the chunkier cleat bought at Widley boat jumble (in 2014!) on the fore deck - low priority

  2. Fit mid-ship cleats  - low priority

  3. Navigation lights - low priority

  4. Bilge pump(s??)

  5. Fit anchor chain hawse pipe - low priority

  6. 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...


  7. New washboards - maybe a single board instead of two? 

  8. 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..
