Progress of sorts
Had a good session on Mischief after the 'summer cruise to no where'. I started fitting deck hardware but found that the core between the outer and inner laminates was wet 😢. I need a plan to deal with this! I did manage to fit the restored halyard winch with a new backing plate and two of the four deck lead blocks. All nicely mastic'd down and hopefully in the right place. I also fitted the self steering bracket which is very secure. After inspecting and taking on board comments from friends about the rubbing strakes these all came off. Only took a couple of hours and no breakages. I couldn't fit them in the car but I have refurbished some of the smaller parts. The sprayhood was given its latest fitting, I doubt if it will be the final fitting. I need to finish the sprayhood before I can lower the mast so hopefully only one or two more fittings.
