Annual Maintenance

2  comments

I have been taking advantage of an excess of free time (a long story) and some good weather to get a jump on this year's boat jobs. Here is my original post on what needed doing. Here's where I am at:

1. Get the
#&!@&ing outboard working
:
I have spoken with Al at the marina and for a few hundred bucks I will have a new bracket and a working outboard very soon. Huzzah!

2. Sand and paint the bottom: Done and dusted and I have blue paint under my nails to prove it.

3. Clean and grease the winches: Still needs doing

4. Touch up the wood: Half-way done

5. Clean and Polish the Fiberglass:  Getting started

6. Replace the boom vang eye on the mast:  Check

7. Re-bed the Halyard Clutch: Done

8. Get up the mast and fix the wind indicator: Still need to do.

9.
Inspect the rigging
: Not yet.

10. Install Traveler: Not doing as removing the old one will cause a lot of problems.

  1. Good list, Adam. I like the colors and you are certainly making good progress with the items on it. I took 2/3 of our teak down to bare wood last year before the rain set in. Sanded it and have applied 4 coats of Armada. We like the color and I like that I don’t have to take it off entirely to touch it up each year.We’ve used it since we bought La Luna 8 years ago and are happy with it. Good luck with the rest of the list.

  2. “Touch up the wood: Half-way done”
    I think with wood, no one is ever more than half-way done. I’d cross it off the list.
