Everything is coming together

The water tank is installed and plumbed, the sink and faucet are installed and plumbed except for one fitting that just came in the mail today. The curtain tracks are in and the curtains are up. The running lights are hooked up and Matt fabricated and installed an instrument bezel for a cockpit light, the switch for the light and the running lights, and the depth meter. He also sewed the new halyards onto the ends of the old ones and put them over the mast so we now have completely rope halyards. He even put eye splices on with all new shackles. We have a lot of old blocks, some very high quality old ones, some mediocre newer ones. All but one appear salvagable. The chainplates are back on and bedded in butyl tape, but we didn't re-attach the shrouds yet. Matt also installed the sole in the head and I painted it with alkyd enamel. He ran the wire for the transponder for the depth finder, and installed the puck up at the front of the keel.










Last but not least, the bottom paint is now on, and I shined up the hull with vertglass.
