Garth and I dropped the boat over at KKMI and spent an hour reviewing the job list with the supervisor. Nice little sail over from SFYC. It reminded me of the day I bought the boat, when I realized just how sweet she drives in 12 kts or so. It’s good to be reminded that sailing is about being on the water, not at West Marine.
The boat has Micron Extra on the bottom, and they are recommending multiple coats, especially on the foil and hull leading edges where the diver’s scotchbrite pad wears through extra quickly. They will turn the re-rig estimate around in a couple days.
In addition, we got the old bent boom off in anticipation of the new Ballenger boom, got the final tether points and lee cloth tie-ins installed, and cut the cheesy ronstan mini-shackles off the spinn halyards. The splice was just big enough to luggage tag on the older, bigger shackles.
