ACE Sunday Work Party

It was sunny and 18 degrees, what a perfect day for a work party.

I was busy with my own boat, so we had
  • Michael Cullen
  • Michael Ahearn
  • Jenny Bird
  • Mike Yates
Out for the afternoon.

They took everything out of the boat and put it on the pier.
Looked like a Yard Sale!

They cleaned every square inch of the cabin and aft cabins.
Dried out and vacuumed the cushions.
Also took some cleaner and a toothbrush to the motor to get all the belt dust off of her.
Cleaned out the aft lockers.
She is now shiny clean in the inside!

Jenny is going to size up some waterproof Rubbermaid containers for the rear lockers.

They put the motor cowling back on; nice to have that out of the cabin!

Mike removed the analog wind, analog compass, and B&G instrument display from the bulkhead.


Duck It

Michael Cullen mounted the VHF and the B&G display near the breaker panel.



This week we will glass over all the holes in the bulkhead.

Sorry no pictures as I was busy with my boat.

We will also remove all the unused cabling and fill the holes:
  • panic button
  • old tiller pilot connector
  • remove two wire connector socket in rear of cockpit
  • remove two wire connector socket at the bow
  • remove old GPS connector in companionway
  • remove broken analog clinometer

One WYC member asked me if ACE was still floating.
I said YUP.
He said, the keel is so close the bottom, how do you know for sure?
LOL
