I have many projects to be completed...
New Rigging: New halyards, sheets, snotters, etc., have been measured, cut, and whipped, and continuous loops for the yard and boom have been spliced - but cannot be installed until Gardens comes out of the barn and the masts can be stepped.
Dock-side Boarding Assist: Everything is set to go but, for some reason, the pads/bases haven't been installed.
Capsize Re-boarding System: Bronze fittings (from Port Townsend Foundry) have installed. Webbing purchased but not measured, cut to size, and sewn. Soft shackles to attach the webbing have been spliced and ready to be installed.
Painting Centerline: Gardens needs her centerline repainted. Boat stands have been built and are ready for warmer weather (so the trailer can be pulled out). Gardens will be lifted off the trailer, the trailer pulled out, boat stands placed under the hull, and the hull stabilized fore and aft with props.
Hinged Tiller: The two pieces for the hinged tiller have been prepped but the wooden hinge (essentially a U-shaped channel made of wood) failed. A length of aluminum rectangular tubing is on its way from the supplier, so further work on this project is on hold.
Name Boards: The boards have been cut, fit, drilled, and painted, but the lettering has not been painted yet. To be honest, the sheer strake needs at least one (maybe two) coat of fresh paint before the name boards are installed.
Other projects thought-about-but-still-pending include a topping lift, lazy-jacks, mast lifting device to help un-step the mast, electric bilge pump, cockpit tent/shelter, camping needs (galley box, sleeping arrangements, etc.).
So, lots of time, lots of projects in the works... I need to make some progress!
