Sunny and warm today.
Productive on a boat job today. The forward pulpit has 2
metal loops for a retaining strap, these go forward by an inch and the black
spinnaker especially catches on it and gets torn. Got a broken old sail batten
from Kenny the sail maker here and cut into two 9 inch lengths and put a
elongated hole in it to fit firmly on the overhang. A jubilee clip at the
bottom of the batten gives it a gentle curve to the overhang. Next time we
fly the black kite will confirm whether it works, it looks as though it should.
One of the tools I hummed and haahed about bringing, the Dremmel, was the major
workhorse for this job so a good call.
I do need to go back to the rail and water leak.
Tomorrow now.
