Tom -- Thanks for sharing about your renovation. Do you have any tips for controlling BoatLife caulk for someone who has never used it before, but who is contemplating using it for the first time to rebed all his deck fittings? -- Steve McClellan M15 #152 Chicago Area
This past weekend I finished most of my winter project to put new bronze hardware on my M17. For the reefing rudder I placed a deck strap on the starboard side of the transom and a jamb cleat on the port side. This should make it easier and faster to raise the rudder. I also placed two turning blocks, a Lewmar 6 winch and cam cleat on the cabin top to get the jib halyard to the cockpit. I would have the project completed if I could just get the Skene chocks delivered. Boy, that Boatlife caulk is messy stuff. Tom M17 Obsessus
