got the the club at 8am ish
had to sort the jockey wheel as it was too low so couldnt get it to car hitch , had to empty car boot to use the car jack, job done readjusted so i could use it properly
opened the cabin window and gave the boat a good airing all day . finally finished around 1630
didnt have time to do the mast windex install, do that next week
loaded what kit i wanted to keep on the boat the rest was brought home.
overall it is a project but the boat can be sailed once rigged.
the electronics look a bit sad and tired so i will rip them out and do a new cockpit fascia board varnished and then mouny the new Garmin striker vivid 4c a race watch and the nasa clipper wireless wind
the internal wiring i will completly renew , sttart afresh and use 12v 7ah sealed agm batterys which are very portable and should last a while, the boatttt did havea sollar panel so seew hat that can do
ive got a victron smart controller
oh well overall i can see the potential so im pleased , got it for a good price despite the problem with the trailer , that cost me £397 for the starboard wheel hub and bearing the left side needs doing as thats bad as well.
then the brakes need fixing on starboard side then the brake cables need renewing as they are rusty
for now get boat launched then sort later.
