Still Times Ready for Launch

Had sailing/work friend Scott come down to the club to give me a hand at 10am.

In a couple of hours, we got the cover and frames off.

After this, we used the electric windlass to get the anchor/chain/rode in the locker

After this we ran the anti freeze out of the motor.

We folded up the cover and put in my truck.
Will deal the the frame pieces after launch.

Big Still Time is ready to launch short of:

• fenders
• lines
• steering wheel
• shore power cable

Will do on Thursday.

Next we went the little boat and replaced the pintel screws with some blue locktight to keep them from backing out.

Last year, the 22 was put hastily on the cradle without a board underneath the keel.

As a result, I could not back the rear pads off to paint underneath them.

I had brought a car jack.

We propped a 4x4 between the jack and the transom, and raised the boat up about 2 inches to get a 2x4 under the keel.   This allowed us to drop the pads and paint the remainder of the bottom.

Little Still Time is ready for launch short of 

• fenders
• lines
• gas for outboard

Will do on Thursday.

Next we went to the mast rack and got the mast for 34.

We got the lines all sorted out, and the spreaders and shrouds on.

All I have to do is wash the mast and tape the spreaders, and the mast is ready to go up.

Thanks for all your help Scott!
