What to do before the season?
I have to renew the antifouling in a few patches where trailering and beaching has rubbed it off.
Then, a small detail: I have modified how the mainsail halyard is attached to the Gunter gaff yard. I have drilled the carbon yard for the halyard, which theoretically makes the carbon yard loose it's floatation. I will therefore foam that bit of the yard where the hole goes through it.
And then, one job which is however not really necessary: I wish to have a wheel in the main mast for the mainsail halyard.
And then, to replace the steel shrouds with Dyneema, and reduce the weight of the masttop fittings. Overall objective is to reduce the weight of the standing rig as much as possible.
All a bit over the top I agree, but it's winter slack, so better do something.
It'll be fun trying the changes out if the weather comes back to normal.
What have you left to do with your boat?
