Launch day is tomorrow!

Spent the last 2 days getting the boat ready to launch tomorrow morning.

Thursday:
  • Drilled out roughly 70 holes I'd filled with epoxy
  • Reinstalled compression post removed last weekend.
  • Re-bedded & installed the forward hatch
  • Re-bedded & reinstalled 4 spinlock cam cleats.
  • Re-bedded & reinstalled 2 cabin-top jib tracks
  • Re-bedded & reinstalled 4 large pad eyes
With Dad's help:
  • Reinstalled ~180 tiny delryn bearings in 2 Garhaur genoa cars (warning - never remove genoa cars from the track!!!)
  • Re-bedded & installed 2 genoa tracks
  • Re-bedded & installed tabernacle
Friday:
  • Improved fit/seal on forward hatch
  • Reinstalled the battery box
  • Removed & folded winter tarp
  • Broke down tarp frame
  • Scrubbed deck & hull
  • Drove to Home Despot & Western Tool in search of new disk for polisher - fail. Bought lawnmower, gas
  • Waxed hull, cabin & cockpit by hand. Admired shiny finish.
  • Gathered items for launch tomorrow.
My tail is dragging but getting the boat in the water and tied up in our new slip will make up for it.
