Update

I have been prepping my 30' Etchells for the last couple of weeks, doing fiberglass fabrication and some minor repairs at the keel stub.  So I am well stocked up on material be begin work on two topside repairs--storm damage to my hull.  That will be easy enough to repair.  To prevent this from happening again, I finally sources some parts to build a rub rail.

I have also sources two welders to do some welding for me.  I want to get my running lights working.  One of them has a portable rig and the other works out of a shop, which requires a lot of work removing things and putting them back on.  I'd rather do what I can in place.  I need to learn to weld stainless steel and aluminum. 

I have also sources a free marine head like what I have.  A friend will be shipping it to me, so I will pay him for packing and shipping, plus the cost of the rebuild kit he just bought.  It is a $1000 head for a few hundred.  I'm pleased about that. 

I want to get my new roller furler installed, but I will need help for that.  At least three other people, more would be better, just to walk it down the dock.  I still need to purchase new wire for my headstay.

My new starter has proven to be reliable. I have been unable to find anyone who will repair my old starter for a spare.  The solinoid is good so I may just pull that off and toss the rest.
