Progress keeps coming

After a semi successful session assisting a friend get his engine into his boat, it was too windy for the crane but the gear box, mounts and shaft fixings were sorted out, I spent more time working on Mischief. The skeg repair was completed, stainless steel section rammed up from below and foam injected. The fibre glass and epoxy was solid and after some filling and fairing it looked OK. The rudder went back on without a hitch and the tiller is back on. The hull has been primed ready for anti fouling. Running rigging is mostly done, quick release shackles on the halyards and topping lift, main sheet reeved. A problem occurred with the genoa furling, it has been very stiff and so I opened it up. I now need to fit new ball bearings!! The rubbing strakes are now back on the boat and plugs were fitted. Chain plates were secured and bolts were cropped back in the cabin.

All that has to happen before splash is anti-fouling and finishing off the rubbing strakes. I might even polish the freeboard.
