Close-up of Diana's name graphic, designed by JC2 but realized (with detailed holly leaves) by Brenda at Night Owl Graphics, Croydon PA.

Super-sized forklift being used to step Diana's mast for first time in a VERY long time. Curtin Marina, Burlington NJ.

Diana's name graphic, as designed by JC2, realized by Night Owl Graphics of Croydon PA. Pic is confusing as neighbor's Chapparal motor boat's arch appears directly beyond! Showing green-painted plywood 'winter cover' replacing foredeck hatch. No; pic is not squashed; the boat really is this sleek!

showing preferred angle for having 5/16" or 8-mm stainless-steel Wichard/West Marine U-bolts bent for installation through factory toerail for use as chainplates for Hunter 25. Copy this; it works great.

Diana, with rig up and graphics on. Showing primary 1-7/8" 'roll bar' rail of solar-panel arch; awaiting (smaller) aft section of assembly.

showing 'varnish shop', mostly trim pieces of mahogany awaiting reinstallation after varnishing. Cushions are new. These are of 4" 'Lux' 50-lb foam - the best you can get. Custom-cut using electric steak knife (pretty much industry-standard method). Paper roll is for patterns.

This has been long in coming!

My lead line for sounding bottom depths. Marked only at 5' (absolutely lowest water, given calm water); 9' (adequate at low water; given likelihood of swell/surge; 15' (adequate for 7-8-ft tidal change when sounded at any/unknown state of tide). Works great.

Custom two-bulb masthead light assembly by JC2. No-one makes an LED tricolor light for smaller boats; yet this is even more vital on a smaller boat than on a 35- or 40-footer. Red/green/white nav light below all-round anchor light (not the reverse, which makes no sense).

My cockpit is a jumbled mess of lines. Sheets and halyards all over the place. Looking to add some custom made sheet bags to my 25.5. Anyone want to share some pics of yours for my inspiration? How did you attached them to the cabin bulkhead without much modification or poking more holes in...
