Winter 2018/19 renovation - summary
Tonight we’ve lifted the mast from winter storage rack and I prepared it for stepping. Tomorrow early morning is the time slot for me with the crane.
Stepping the mast and rigging the boat is a milestone for me denoting that renovation season is over and we’re going into sailing season.
What has been done during this winter:
3 new keel bolts
1 new floor timber
new cockpit floor and structure
renovated engine compartment
repaired engine foundations
repaired 8 steamed frames
repaired 1 thick, glued frame
new mainsail traveller
new mainsail (from Sailservice in Gdansk, Poland)
engine renovation
new madrases
new cabin-cockpit wall
new sealing for cabin portlights, thru bolts
There are still some small things in the pipe, for which I already have hardware ready to be installed:
new deck hatch hinges
new cockpit locker hinges, sealers and locks
ship’s bell
nets for deck vents - to avoid last year adventures with wasp nest inside the boat (!)
third, emergency bilge pump
… and a few other things.
There is always something to do on a boat - if not sailing!
