Well it has been a long winter! I did get my winches taken off and cleaned up. It was not that hard and now they work like a dream, they are actually two speeds now. I also took a hickory branch that fell in my dads back yard and made another tiller. I am trying to make it a little shorter so It does not clear off the entire seat when tacking. I also made winch covers and new tiller covers out of scrap sunbrella fabric. We have just removed all the deck hardware in preparation to paint the topsides and stern. I am waiting for my primer to arrive.
