except for the rudder. Applied the first, and probably last for now, finish coat to the rudder. Will have the Yard install tomorrow and hope to have my first sail of the new season after work. Also got a fresh coat of varnish in the tiller. Changed to jib blocks for ones I bought a few years back from the Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle. A little on the small side but since I had to seize them in place, they’ll be there for a while.
Progress on the first Beaton Sneakbox with the new deck almost done.
Also waiting for the arrival of my brother in Boss Lady on his way South.
Once the rudders gets hung, we’ll be open for business.
All rigged; some of the gear renewed. Decided to keep the now gray Dacron halyards. The potential Manila-like replacements I bought seem to be a little to “plastic”.
New red cedar deck on the first Beaton Sneakbox.
A-Cat worlds next Saturday.
