DSC00766 This is a pic of the rope hanging board that I built. I also installed an electric term block just to the right of this board on the bulkhead, for my outboard motor charging system to my house battery. You can't see it in this picture. I cover it with a small piece of a PC mouse pad to prevent fireworks. I don't want anyone to come in contact with it and get electroculated.
DSC00730 Detachable companionway step makes it easy to get the 50 quart cooler in and out.
DSC01050 In this pic, Penelope is posing with my anchor caddy, Fortress Anchor on it's roller, and the raised furler drum on the fore stay plate.
DSC00788 I constructed these spreader boots out of leather and sewed them on. I may retire them and buy some made of rubber next year.

DSC00767 In this pic we have the #10 stand copper duplex charging system wire that goes to the term block in the hatch, plus the autopilot receptical. The 8" Beckson Deck Plate makes it easy to get at the wire, gudgeons, and the self-bailing hoses. No more crawling into that hatch!
DSC00607 My rudder blade was built by Rudy and it is solid. I use an O'Day 25 tiller with pendant line controls for the blade hold down, and a hold up feature that I devised. I lowered the pintles on the rudder head to make room for this wide tiller, and it was worth it.
DSC00445 Chain Plate modification prevents leaks. I had these flat S.S. plates welded to these OD 25 chainplates to seal out water leaks. Each plate is also bolted through the deck with four bolts, nuts, and backup plates in the cabin. I attach these mast raising/lowering pivot bridles to a shackle under the turnbuckle on one side, and a pad eye plate on the deck. One line on each bridle goes to the end of the Gin Pole, and one line connects from each bridle to a lower stay on each side of the mast. The S.S. ring come even with the pivot point of my mast tabernacle. This keeps the mast from going over the side in the raising/lowering process with the furler attached. It's just that simple.
