C22 Prep for Launch and Sale

Poor little Still Time: she has not be sailed much since before Covid.

I was planning on selling her last season, but I was too busy with the RBC Canadian Open, the Newport Bermuda, racing on ZAMBONI, and moving the 34 to Trident Yacht Club.

First step was to take the vinyl name stickers off with a heat gun:

Proceeded to wash/buff/wax the hull:

Even after several hits with polishing compound, you can still make out where the decals were. 

Got about half of the bottom painted before I ran out of steam at 7pm.

There's Still Time!

CS34 14 Days to Launch

Whitby launch is two weeks away.

The weather has been cold and rainy, so this is first chance I got to get the boat ready for 2023.

It was sunny and warm (over 20 degrees celsius).
I was going to tackle painting the bottom, but as I looked at the weather for the next 7 days, it was going to be cold and wet the entire time.

We have had a couple days of dry weather, so the cover was nice and dry, so I decided to get the cover off and into the truck.

I power washed the bottom, as I missed a couple of spots in the fall.

Proceeded to wash/polish/wax the hull.

Turned out pretty nice!

The frame will come down sometime next week.
