I finished all the jobs on my list, great! But I did find some new one’s to re populate it with.

The big news is that the rudder is back on, which was my last major job. Unfortunately I’ve cocked up the sealant on the galley so that will need redoing at some point. It was the first time I’ve ever used Silastic and, foolishly, thought I could just scrap it off to trim when it was set. You can’t do that, and it now looks a bit crap. I think maybe next time I might go for transparent sealant.

New jobs on the list are… I’ve painted the bilges, and started varnishing the cabin floorboards. I’ve also come up with the idea of wrapping the mast compression pole in pipe lagging, then making a cover. It’ll soften up the cold metal pole and provide some collar bone protection in rough weather
