- Disconnected battery charger at 12:00.
- Removed caulk from leaking port forward chainplate. Left open to air and dry over the next twenty-four+ hours.
- Installed mainsail track slide stop cut from G10 and painted with gray Pre-Kote
. Lanolin on #10-24 machine screw.
- Installed wind instrument spacer cut from G10 and painted with gray Pre-Kote
so that the wires have a fair lead. Lanolin on #10-24 machine screws.
- Lightly filed the backstay slot in the masthead so that the Sta-Lok mechanical terminal can be inserted easily without any binding. Has a bit of side to side free play.
- Safety wired Harken
Carbo Air 57mm Swivel
blocks for spinnaker and genoa halyards.
- Drilled 1/4" holes inset 3/8" from the edges of the upper corners of the aluminum plates on either side of the sheave. Inserted #10-24 machine screws with two nuts cinched against each other to allow the new Zephyrwerks
sheave to freewheel. Not deep enough from the fore and aft edges -- the machine screws and nuts contact the aluminum of the mast and do allow the plates to sit as needed. Perhaps binder posts and Lock-Tite.
- Test fit spreaders on the correct side of the mast with correct orientation (front/back and top/bottom). Much improved appearance. Spreaders tilt upward and hopefully will bisect the angle of the upper shroud over the spreader.
- Removed heavily damaged (oxidized) sheave from the pig stick halyard.
