Done sailing for the year . . .

September 29, 2010

Finished pulling everything out of the boat Tuesday night and pulled her down to the lockup for the winter.  Still need to pull the outboard off, cover the boat with the tarp and set up the solar panel to keep the battery charged, then I'm about done until spring  Well, except that the living room is full of gear which I'll have to put up by the weekend and I should probably cover the trailer tires to protect them from the weather/sun.

Project list to be completed before spring launch:
  • Critical:
    • Remove, fill & redrill screw holes, and rebed the Tabernacle (leak)
    • Remove, fill & redrill screw holes, and rebed the stanchions (leak, port side)
    • Repair damaged gel coat on battery compartment
    • Repair damaged gel coat on starboard cockpit seats
    • Varnish, drill, and add hardware to new tiller
    • Adjust mast gates
    • Replace traveller control line
    • Put cleat back on mast for forward reefing line
    • New velcro for boarding ladder
    • Test bilge pump
    • New dolly wheel tires
    • Replace upper telltale on Ullman main
  • Supplies needed
