Rather than add to my introduction thread I decided to start a new one. I have a few pics to post.
Artemis was the name of my son's puppy who died of a degenerative muscular/skeletal disease.
Here's what she looked like when I first got her:
And after I patched, painted, and added some hardware:
A previous owner (there have been at least 2) fabricated this rudder cheek. Not sure why. To cover some cracks perhaps?
I patched some dings in the rudder with something called Durham's putty. The repair is pretty strong, but I wasn't able to stain it to match the rest. Oh well, it'll be below the waterline.
I got a plastic bailer and installed it hand tight but there's about a 1/16" gap between the hull and the bailer. I know that there's supposed to be a gap but I didn't think it would be that big.
I'm still waiting to receive the bow handle I ordered. Intensity Sails is back ordered. Next up is to attach the sail to the spars. I got brand new sail clips because the ones that came with the boat were pretty brittle and I didn't want to take a chance of them breaking out on the water.
