Talk:Mashnee task list

Out-of-water observations:

• Topsides paint: moderate surface wear
• Bottom paint: significant flaking post power washing. Needs to be redone.
• Varnish: generally ok, needs routine refresh. Bowsprit, Samson post, cockpit coamings and tiller all have bare patches
• Caulking: ok
• Propeller/shaft/zincs: plenty of barnacles on hub. Zincs replaced fall 2024.
• Main cabin skylight hatch is cracked on aft edge, hardware not installed. Needs repair
• Lazarette hatch: control arm not installed. Hardware in nav locker, starboard aft above stove
• Only one of the four jib cars has an operational spring under the pin

Inboard observations:

• Chainplates, interior: still deep green, with
• Galvanic corrosion: check from 2024: [Some other evidence of galvanic corrosion, including on an engine mount bolt and a through-hull fitting]
• Mast step: good
• Mild mildew growth throughout interior (washed down with mild bleach and water rinse, left compartments open to air)
• Blackwater tank was not pumped prior to delivery
• Engine: per Dion's on 11/11/24: engine has been winterized, but routine service not yet done

Mast inspection

• Mast: under forestay tang: discoloration around spacer block consistent with water entry. Spacer block is poorly bedded with areas for water collection. Needs dedicated inspection for rot and good rebedding
• Mast: open wood fibers at heel of mast, aft end of tenon: need protection from rot and water that collects in mast step
• Boom: Ok.
• Spreaders: Ok. should be varnished
• Forestay and jib foil: top cap still missing at top of foil; aluminum is deforming a bit from the wear
