I didn't have a lot of time this summer, but did manage to do quite a few of the smaller projects. Here, I was adding a hefty stern cleat for controlling the main sheet. I also added a new main halyard bronze winch, installed all the new engine hoses, wires, cables and switches, the reefing cleats and blocks, and a door latch. Thank goodness I live in a town with so much talent and so many friends.
