More old Pac Cup Boat Work Photos

Nathan fixing the bilge pump...We since added a strainer on Nathan's recommendation to prevent clogging of the pipe...

Elise proudly displaying its spinnaker net.

Elise and the spinnaker net at the tack fitting. Also nice view of what a regular tack fitting should look like...Nice and clean...with a pretty-well attached forestay...and a regular lifeline, eg. a piece of webbing used as a regular lifeline :)

Notice also Elise's deck-level navigation lights. We do not use those as our regular lights in the ocean. They are really hard to see with the waves so we use the mast-head lights but they are our emergency ones. On the Bay, some people argue that it is better to use deck-level lights on short rides because ships can look at them contrasted against the black-looking water at night, as opposed to a confusing background of city lights...
