Time to Get Busy...

27 March 2014
Well, at least we've got some work on Wings again... too early to say we're making serious progress, but we have begun picking through the many things we have to do.

Maintenance:
• Redo the bottom, fill small holes, bottom paint.
• Re-bed forward lifeline stanchions.
• Replace solar vent in hatch.
• New halyards
• New sole in the cabin
• Cabin paint.
• General refastening
• Replace drop-boards and keepers
• "new" mainsail...

Upgrades:
• Install mainsheet traveler.
• Replace port lights with Beckson opening ports
• Fill in motor well (maybe) and move outboard to stern mount
• Install new combings
• Hand-rails cabin-top and cabin interior.
• Tricolor masthead light.
• Install a new 12-volt system (old one is a joke...)

Extra: The skipper went out and found another Bristol 24 -- this one, Sanderling, is mechanically in better shape than Angels Wings, with newer rigging and motor, but still a small basic boat with no pretentions about high-society.
