My main sheet blocks.  The bearing do not look so good.  Time to replace them.

Some deck track removed. These holes were drilled out extra large and filled with epoxy and re-drilled for a more solid foundation.

Some new track installed.

Laying out some track to check the length.  Also shown is a pad for a spinnaker shoe.


 The plexiglass cover was a cheezy patch job for an old fuel tank fill or something.  This was recently removed and filled.  The messy looking thing underneath the plexiglass was an old stanchion base that had a wooden pad that was glassed over.  The pad was rotten and the extra holes were drilled to remove the wet core.  Here it is shown with some epoxy thickened with West Systems 403 filler.

A stanchion on the starboard side before removal and re-bedding.

This was the old diesel fill.  I am not sure if I will be using this, so it will remain filled for the moment.

This is a close up of the pad base for a spinnaker deck shoe.

A pair of chain plates wer removed.  This is one side, after being scooped out and filled.  The tape is to keep the filler for leaking out on the low side.

A chain plate which the cheezy caulk job removed, and taped up to prevent water from getting in.

These are two deck fills that were not being used, so they were filled.  I may reuse this location if I decide to add another water tank to the boat.  


Forward deck spinnaker shoe pad mount.

My Highfield Lever deck mount.  I removed to re-weld it, and that is complete.  I need to decide if I want to polish the aluminum or put it back as it was.

Bow pulpit removed.  I still need to modify the bow pulpit and reinstall it.
