The covers for the centerboard pin was a great idea . No more rusty covers . When Lee is finished the boat will be a beast , so much better than the dodgy way some things were . Less holes below the water line . Looking great guys . The finish line is getting closer .
Lee is a great boat owner, based on the question, "would I buy a boat that he had previously owned and worked on?" It is obvious that he has a mechanical background and understanding. Yes, I'd buy a boat he has put right. Nice job, people.
I do like your work! The attention to detail and craftsmanship is a pleasure to watch. 👍😊 I do know if you installed those screws they would be punching thru the deck….👌
Love all the improvements you're making! The boat is already thanking you. One thing to keep in mind as you're blue water cruising is how things are secured in the event of a full broach or rollover. We always hope it will never happen, but if it does all of those metal tools will go flying around the engine room, potentially shorting electrical connections or jamming in moving machine parts. Very unlikely you'll ever be caught in weather that bad especially with how good GRIB models have gotten. Always better to at least have a plan in place if it does, like stowing those tools elsewhere when needed.
I’ve got the same issue with a few screws. Also I’ve replaced every single plastic piece with stainless steel. They were a disaster. Deck scuppers are new now :) they were falling apart in my hands when I got them out.
All the hard work now will pay off later as the boat will be much easier to maintain. It might not seem like it's worth it sometimes, but restoring a junk pile to excellent working order is a huge accomplishment. I am greatly enjoying the maintenance videos and how your family deals with adversity. Great job and happy holidays!
The woman’s hand bag. what I learned is when my wife said sit here and hands me her hand bag. I opened it up sitting where I was instructed. Now I set with no hand bag.
Good to have a Captain that pays attention to DETAIL.
The captain showing off his skillz again. Adapt, improvise and overcome!

Yes we are Getting there
Another fine job accomplished. I can't wait till you set sail once again. I know I am not alone!
You and me both!

Hi
The woman’s hand bag. what I learned is when my wife said sit here and hands me her hand bag. I opened it up sitting where I was instructed. Now I set with no hand bag.
With all this work you’re doing, after you set sail you’ll never have to do any boat work again ! Nah only joking 🤪🤣🍻🍻🥂🥂
We wish 🤣 we know that’s not the case
🤔
Are we ever going to see anything other than boat projects???
