End of 2025 season

Out-of-water observations:

  • Bottom paint: needs solid scraping and renewal. General cracking along plank lines. Bare patches, including one bare long enough to grow a barnacle
  • Topsides paint: some dings aft, but generally in good condition. Light cracking along plank lines
  • Toerails: wear consistent with use in places
  • Bowsprit: varnish cracked through to the wood at end, where the Code Zero furler would hit it. Some discoloration around cracks
  • Cabin top and hatches: varnish in good shape, need surface renewal only
  • Forward hatch: strut is detached from hatch: bedding block for the screws needs to be repaired or replaced
  • Propeller/shaft/zincs: zincs showing surface wear only. Marine growth on propeller and shaft
  • Rudder: marine growth between rudder post and hull

Inboard observations:

  • Chainplates: deep green for the most part, worst near stainless steel diagonal stringers; do not show significant change from spring 2025 or fall 2024
  • Mast Step: ok
  • Mild mildew growth throughout interior (washed down with mild bleach and water rinse, left compartments open to air)
  • Unclear if engine has been winterized or routine maintenance carried out yet (Nov. 8, 2025)

Mast and Rig

Bowsprit

  • Stainless steel U-shaped shackle connecting forestay to bowsprit has surface rust at top, beneath roller curler
  • Pin securing lower end of bobstay is not secure

Mast:

  • Space block under forestay tang could use rebedding again--bedding compound is missing around upper edges. Check discolored wood for rot at the same time.
  • The upper and lower bronze halyard guides show discolored wood around individual screws. Check for rot.
  • Upper spreader plates are bowed, but appear secure and flush to the mast at the screws

Boom:

  • Varnish scratches, dings with missing varnish, and clumsy epoxy repairs in an area aft of the starboard side deep reef sheave

Forestay:

  • There is now a plastic cap over the top of the foil, but the interior pieces to stabilize the foil are still missing

Shrouds:

  • Surface rust color on some of the terminals and coffee staining coming from some of the swages
