DIY Refit

Alan (420 Flatlander) helped me move Gra'inne to the yard on Sunday and then we had her hauled yesterday for summer storage.  I plan to continue the refit there but it will not be as convenient as the yard is over an hour from the house.

All the raw water hoses, engine exhaust, genset exhaust,  and scupper hoses are new.   Completed installation of the new holding tank, waste hoses, diverter valve and macerator, and tank monitor.  Running rigging is all new and also completed the replacement of all standing rigging.

Planned work:

Inspect and replace as necessary underwater thruhulls.

Remove prop and driveline and have them trued and balanced.

Remove the Kato Davits and send them back to Kato so they can replace the lower mounting/swivel bolts. 

Replace the fresh water hoses.

Remount the main outhaul track and replace the car.

Install new Lifeline house batteries.

Redo the teak.

Make new Sunbrella hatch covers.

New salon upholstery.

Refinish the salon sole.  

Have our Rocna anchor and chain re galvanized.

Replace HF Radio feed cable to the backstay.

Rescreen overheads, and portlights, entry doors.

New switches in salon sidelights.

I'm sure I've forgotten something!

  1. Bobby, Where are you having your anchor & chain re-galvanized? I have planned to paint our anchor with 'cold galvanizing
    ' paint this summer, but hot dip would be great if I knew where to get it done.
