"Clean" is right! Your new boat...Gavin, <br />"Clean" is right! Your new boat looks great! Let me know what you need to fit her out- if I don't have it, Jack might, and if Jack doesn't Hilary might. <br />Yeah I was thinking about that great night sail when I was pulling those old punky blocks out. You're right- Whiskeyjack always looks after us- she's not fast, she's not pretty, but she is reliable.Dock Six Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597255314638510360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379145335165821479.post-84112907961281875812013-05-28T10:09:09.155-04:002013-05-28T10:09:09.155-04:00Hi there,

I need to expand my set of tools first beyond drill, multi-tool, sander and hammer.<br /><br />BTW, I took your advice and used Home Hardware Spar varnish on my teak grab rails. They have turned out very nice. Once I complete all of the woodwork onboard (this weekend?) I will post some more pics on Sailnet in the <$100 thread. I am in the water and I want to stop working on the boat and get sailing!iamcdn54https://www.blogger.com/profile/06568187390873682153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379145335165821479.post-30337502726288042572013-05-27T16:41:59.697-04:002013-05-27T16:41:59.697-04:00Ah the joys of the old boat.

This boat while clean and uncomplicated is also "unstocked". I appreciate that when working on old boats being willing to look at things from a new angle is probably what's most most important. I appreciate your creativity and I appreciate replacing those steering blocks. Thank goodness they didn't quit on us last fall when we were out in the heavy waves that evening and trying to get back. Good old boat. She looked after us.gavinrsmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01883548103680707839noreply@blogger.com
