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

  • Stainless steel U-shaped shackle connecting forestay to bowsprit has surface rust at top, beneath roller curler

160:

  • Bolt rope separated from sail at head, ~3 inches
  • Stitching broken along a batten pocket, leaving batten pocket free to lift away from sail

  • Lower spreader patch detaching from edges (MIT fix)
  • Some wear along foot tabling
  • Missing both foot battens

  • Some stains from mildew, not progressed since 2023

Big Red Spinnaker


Code Zero

  • Not unrolled for inspection.

Running Rigging

(Numerical key: 1 = good condition, close to new; 2 = light wear, no problems; 3 = moderate wear, nothing concerning; 4 = moderate wear, monitor, plan replacement; 5 = replace this season)

Running backstays, standing part (new 2024)

Running backstays, running part

Topping lift

Main halyard:

Main sheet (new 2024)

  • 3. Surface wear, light. Yarns look strong across rope. Uneven pull on strands ~1/3 of distance from standing end. End for end this year.

Main outhaul

Deep reef outhaul

Shallow reef outhaul

Jib halyard

Jib sheets (new 2024)

  • 3. Moderate-heavy wear across coating on both sheets. Both have broken stands ~4 inches from one of the end.

Spinnaker halyard (red fleck)

Spinnaker halyard (beige with dyneema section)

Spinnaker tack outhaul (black)

  • 2. Areas of concentrated moderate wear on outer coating. End for end if possible

Spinnaker tack outhaul (blue)

Spinnaker sheets

  • 4. Stripped dynema sections show heavy wear, consistent breakage in outer fibers giving them a fuzzy appearance, and some pulled strands. Moderate wear on coated sections.
