Christmas

I write only to wish everyone that celebrates it a Merry christmas.

If not have a nice day,and enjoy the day off!!

Need new wood!!!

Well i decided since it was so nice i should start pulling the bulkheads and such out. Anything wood that needs replacing is coming out.

So far ive got the bulkheads an 90% of the covers out. Im going with Red oak based on recommendations from the sail boat owners website. A lot cheaper then sheets of teak. I want to rebuild it and make it nice, not bankrupt me and my project. It has to be affordable but still look nice. Sailing into Newport i wont expect any looks other then "wow, thats a 71? Thats in good shape."

So hopefully this week i can start the measuring and cutting. You will be in for a suprise. I plan on making it a little bit different then stock setup.

Winter blues

           So sitting here browsing anything and everything Catalina 22 and my local bay's ive come to realize i need to save a little more then i first thoght. The outboard that came with the boat is in very rough shape. Personally i dont feel like being out on the bay have no wind and no way to move, or coming into a harbor and loose my power. So that expence gets added. No big deal though i knew it would probably happen.


          Secondly a mooring. i like the idea of trailering the boat but honestly i really don't feel like raising and lowering the mast every time i want to go out. Maybe one day after work i wanna take a quick sail. Well thats not going to happen is i trailer to and from everytime.

Well time to start pricing out mooring options as well as tender,pram and dinghy options.
