    Those replacement bulkheads look great and appear to match well to the other woodwork I can see in the photos. I'll try to figure out how to...

    Yes, you can have the DC panel & the AC panel active at the same time. They are electricity seperate systems.

Cedar River Marina, northern Lake Michigan, Memorial Day 2012. We spent most of the weekend listening to the wind whistle through the rigging.

Lineman's Rolling Hitch 005 I call this hitch the "Lineman's Rolling Hitch." I doubt if you'll find this one in the knot books or anywhere else on the web. It's easy to tie and has a million uses. You can tie this hitch and move the rope coils forward or back but once you pull on the standing part of the line, she tightens right up. This hitch tied around an 1/8" stay with 3/16" braid will not slide once the strain is applied to the standing part of the line. I sometimes tie a single sheave to this line and use it to hoist my shower bag up high on my back stay. I found this hitch to be useful in securing my CDI Furler vinyl luff to my Gin Pole when raising/lowering my mast. Check out my mast raising/lowering album for pics of this. It's a great hitch.

Lineman's Rolling Hitch 003 Now bring the line back to the front of the wraps and tie at least two half hitches around the object. I'm about to tie one half hitch in this picture.

Lineman's Rolling Hitch 002 Then bring the bitter end back around and in between the standing part of the line and the object you are tying. You can take it through either from left to right or right to left. Because I'm right handed, I usually take the rope though so it come out toward me which is different to what is seen in this picture.

Lineman's Rolling Hitch 001 To tie this hitch just take about five or six wraps around anything like rope, wire, a spar or even a roller furler vinyl luff. Always wrap the line away from you.

Really nice companionway doors, but they all need to be reassembled. The boards all separated from warpage and sun damage. It looks like he assembled them with regular wood glue. We're going to use epoxy this time. Brand new canvas sail covers and jib bags also came with the boat.

Upper rudder bearing had failed and nearly destroyed the trim piece. I think the upper thrust washer was taken out at some point and let the rudder drop, shearing off the upper bearing's shoulder. I'm sure the cockpit sole is probably soaked and rotting. I'll worry about that later also. Got to get it sailing first.

Thoughtless PO used a holesaw to make a place to run an anchor line. Would have been great if he finished it (right of bow cleat). I can't wait to see how saturated the deck core is. I'll worry about that later.
