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)
