On the hard!

Boy have I been remiss on posting on our blog. 
So the boat got hauled out May 1st.  The mast was then dropped and Chris Tutmark (rigger) started to go over the mast.  Lots of work to do. 
The big problem is the mast collar is broke in two pieces.  What a pain!  No one has one.  Not sure what we are going to do.  it will be the one thing that makes us miss Swiftsure.  Grrr!

Alan and I taking Appa through the locks and under the Burlington Northern bridge

See the crack? 

This computer at work sucks!!

Cannot get my photos on the blog.

This is the punchlist:

1. Two coats of Sr 60 bottom paint.
2. Keel/hull joint refilled and faired
3. Prop strut inspected and faired
4. New through hull for emergency bilge pump
5. Put in and run hose of the new emergency bilge pump.
6. Buff and wax hull
7. Drop the rudder and inspect bearings
8. Pull mast and replace standing rigging
9. New mast collar
10. Install new Raymarine X-30 course computer with P70 AP controller and integrate with existing ST50 instruments
11. Windlass motor rebuild
12. Spare alternator rebuild
13. Fresh water coolant pump and bearing replaced
14. New timing belt on Prima 50 Perkins
15. Tighten keel bolts
16. Run new wiring though mast
17. Install new Raymarine i60 wind gauge and transducer
18. Install new nav station panel and mount ST60 instrument, Watchmate AIS, weatherfax and barometer
19. rewire electrical panel
20. Fix light and engine alarm at engine control panel
21. New blower for engine room
22. Raise the waterline
23. Run new small bilger pump hose.
24. Replace all through hull and hoses

That is all I can think of right now.

Here are some more photos.

Spreaders getting pulled.  The shrouds were "captured" by a bent bolt and nut.  Again with the jury rigged stuff by the previous owner!!






Old owner coated the base of the mast with epoxy.  Why?  The things that other owners do. 











This actually is an improvement if you can believe that

So we are still on the hard at CSR.  Waiting on engine parts from England.  Due in on Friday. 
We are probably not going to do Swiftsure.  Just don't see how it all can come together in time.
We'll see.
