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.
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.
“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.
