That’s Lowe’s paneling..And the sagging overhead; what is it?
I’ve theorized that it is some kind of pole chock, but nevertheless, I will go the way of the dinosaursI don't care who put that knee-skinner just to starboard of the foredeck hatch, or why. It must go.
The Cole stove will stay, at least for a while. The tiller is the subject of some family debate. It too, will stay for now.I imagine you're going to ditch the stove, but please keep the tiller!
Not at all! I’ve been looking for an excuse to put together a vacuum pump for veneer work.I hope my post didn't sound all negative when I mentioned the Formica.
How is the engine?
Probably not, given that the survey turned up some isolated areas of core work that will require, after repair, the decks to be repainted. That’s the primary goal of having it at my home. It all depends on my progress this spring.do you plan on sailing her this summer?
That makes sense. Also, could it be where they attached a block for a downhaul/foreguy? It appears that it is about half way from the mast to the forestay. Although there are less obnoxious ways of temporarily attaching a block to a deck.Figment wrote:the purpose of the kneeskinner occurred to me. A pole chock, yes.
Did the boat come with a cruising spinnaker?
I'm guessing that if you pin the mast-end of the pole into that chock with the business end tucked beside the furler drum, it makes a fair approximation of a bowsprit.
Yes it does, and that’s something that I didn’t even consider.Did the boat come with a cruising spinnaker?
That’s another excellent theory. I know for sure there was such a setup on the boat before roller furling was installed.Also, could it be where they attached a block for a downhaul/foreguy?
The core repairs are my immediate concern, and I think the standing rigging is old enough that it warrants immediate attention. Also, the AC electrical system was deemed to be deficient by the surveyor. So, these items should keep me busy for a while. I’m trying to narrowly focus my attention on these few things before I jump into any other projects, so this boat doesn’t stay out of the water too long.What have you got in mind for her?
