Winter Projects

Although some sailing may be possible over the next few months it is time to look at some improvements that could be made for the next season.

Top of the list is a spray hood but that will have to be made for me.

Next is a folding seat (Richard Goldsmith proudly demonstrates his at any opportunity and it is very comfortable).

At a more basic and DIY level I want to make a grating or similar for the floor of the cockpit and a similar fitting for the area over the fuel tank. This would mean the rear seating area would be level and much more useful than it is now.

Another woodwork project would be to make up a seat/table that would fit over the engine cover. The slope on this is quite annoying and a surface that was strong enough to stand on but with cut outs for pens, cups, beer cans etc. would be much more useful.

So a busy winter ahead - but need to get down to the boat with a tape measure first before I can get started.

Meanwhile - to remind me of the summer
