Sailboat Parade

Sailed Comes Around Goes Around in the Sailboat parade.. we sailed south down the coast and then back up for a downwind upwind course.. did quite well downwing and then lost ground to the bigger boats upwind as the breeze stiffened. still was maybe 6th out of 11 boats finishing.

Update on the Goes around, Comes around

Lots of more work on the “Goes around, Comes around” I’m not sure I even remeber what all I have done.

First I welded in a replacement keel guide on the trailer and painted that. I also remounted the leg on the front of the trailer.

Installed a battery and distribution panel. I don’t think that she ever did have a distribution panel before. I cut out a hole and mounted the panel. Then repaired and rewired the running lights. I still don’t have an all around white light. The mast never did have a light mounted on the masthead. After getting the running lights working and remounted I installed 4 led arrays around the top of the post in center of cabin that the mast is above up on deck. Not very bright but at night they light up the entire cabin. I still have to wire the sump pump up to the distribution panel. It is run from a portable battery unit at the moment. Distribution panel $36, 4 led arrays $ 60, misc wire, connectors, and bulbs $30.
