Rigging

I spent a long hot day in the boat yard yesterday working on an IP-38 getting it ready to truck back to Largo for a refit.  Remove the Bimini and Dodger, reattach striker (fell off due to rotted caprail), drain water tank, remove boom, remove anchors, scrape hull, remove zincs, remove internal mast wiring, stow remaining excess gear.

Out -

And down -

Once down on the ground stripped the standing rigging, removed corroded fittings, removed old lines, and started looking at materials needed for rewiring (all internal mast wiring).  I'll post a few more photos of the interior after my next trip up to the yard next week.

While we were working on this boat another boat tied up near the lift well - this boat owner had just had a very bad day on the water!  I think I would trade his day for a day in the office.............
