Mark, Kathy, Serge, Nathan and I did some work on the boat today - and achieved a lot
Photos to come
- Got new bridle and tried it on
- Fixed connection of the small solar panel
- Fixed the windmill for the instrument anenometer
- Cleaned up some of the electrical connections (the rest should be done this week) - eg connectors are sanded off to remove corrosion then we apply dielectric grease on the connection as we re-establish it. Sometimes connectors have to be replaced when they are beyond repair - make sure that heatshrunk water-tight connections are still water-tight or redo them
- Did most of the (fixing autopilot Ray support on deck) - now needs to be drilled through so we can put the actual support piece when the epoxy dries up
- Experimented + got the blocks and ran a line all around the boat to provide steering mechanism from any part of the boat for short-handed sailing
- Replaced twing connection points to the toerail by shackles (instead of spectra lines as the line was chafing too much)
- Check the rake of the boat and modify it
- Check rig tune (both numbers and symmetry) - and it was all fine
