    Neat boat, this looks like one of the original Willard built Lancer 30s. You can tell from the swept back keel that is similar to the C&C Mk I...

DSC01168 This self bailing cockpit hose modification works better than the original single hose set up. The hose that I replaced was a rubber hose which was bent to a 90 degree to go out the stern thru-hull fitting. gasoline got into the old hose and ate out a hole in it. Like a dumbbell I ran my garden hose in the cockpit before I realized that there was a hole in it and the water wasn't coming out the stern. It was going into the bilge. What a stink! It took weeks, and months to get rid of the fumes in the cabin. This hose is ordinary 1" ID reinforced Vinyl hose that can be bought at Lowe's, Home Depot, or any hardware store. I used a Nylon 90 degree fitting and four stainless steel hose clamps. To gain access to this hose I cut a hole in the center of my inside transom for an 8'' Beckson Deck Plate. This alone was the smartest move I've ever made. I now have access to my gudgions, my self bailing cockpit hose, my stern light, my outboard charging wire, my swim ladder, my outboard mounting bracket. Believe me. I'll never try crawling through that lazarett hatch again. I got stuck in that opening one day with my feet hanging out of the opening. I could hear the birds on a nearby tree limb laughing at me. I managed to wiggle my way out of that opening. I thank the good Lord for small favors.

DSC00775 Easy disconnect furler stay modification. Kind of Mickey Mouse, but it works great! Rudy said it would work with no problem, so I went ahead and did it.

DSC01059 A detachable hinged swing out bull horn for my VHF. I can have the horn pointed around the companionway hatch toward the cockpit and hear it. I mount the mike on my bell bracket, on the outside of the cabin bulkhead sometimes for easy access.

DSC01156 The stainless steel Gin Pole for mast raising/lowering comes apart for easy stowing on board. I use this, plus my boom vang with extra long braid line attached, to do all my mast raising/lowering.

DSC00758 New CDI FF-2 Roller Furler. I needed to raise the furler drum about 5" to make room for my anchor roller. So I added a tang to my bow stem plate. I use a press button fast pin for the fore stay connection to this tang. With a Johnson Handy-Lock on my backstay, and the fast pin on my forestay, mast raising/lowering with a roller furler doesn't get any faster than that.

DSC00731 This mod is my treasured brain-child. What a bear it was trying to get my old 48 quart cooler behind this step having to move settee cushions to slide it in back and into that area. Now, I merely remove the step, and place the 50 quart cooler over the two step supports.

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.

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.

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.
