Boat lists...
I fall into the make a list category and sometimes the anal one. I make a list pretty much all year and then work on it in the winter time. After much agonizing, reading the book sailing big on a small boat and help from this forum we decided to keep our current boat, a h23. This years list is fairly ambitious. It is going pretty good. The overall goal is to make it more comfortable to cruise on, such as in the San Juans WA. and better to spend the night on the lake. Another is to make her easier and safer to sail with just the admiral and I. 1. Make a mast raising system
one. 2. New electric pump and faucet for sink: Done 3. Teak table with Fiddles: Done 4. Rework Galley and make spot for cooler and "pantry" next to galley and utilize storage under galley: Done 5.Add spot for second battery: Half done. 6. Repair main sail cover and rework tiller cover: Half done 7. Add stainless steel tube from stanchion to stanchion for holding items on deck. Not done. 8. New curtains and curtain to seperate v birth
one 9.New Porta Pot. Done. Had blue water show up in bilge and found small crack in old one. Not to pleasant. 10. Put on maintenance coat of Cetol on exterior wood: Not done. 11.Repair rudder, had crack where the two sides came together. Ground out and filled with epoxy: Done. 12. Run lines aft and new halyards: quarter done. 13. Raise boom two inches so hatch will open 90 degrees: Not done. 14. Add line holder on under side of lazerette hatch: Not Done. There are a few more things on the list but won't get done this year. Most of these are things gleaned from what others have done to theirs. Thanks to all who have shared these upgrades.
