Any Leaks?

After completing the installation of all of the running rigging on the cabin roof top, I gave the boat a decent washing to check for leaks and just because it needed it!



Butyl tape trimmed and ready for lines! From left to right - Clam cleat for Main Sheet when sheet in hand is necessary. Enkes 16 - 2 speed winch. Clutches for main sheet, topping lift, downhaul, jiffy reef, and main halyard. Foot block for continuous control line for self tacking jib car, clutch for self tacking jib sheet. Lewmar 40 ST 2-speed winch. Block on lower right for asym/screecher sheet. Yes, the winch handle on the left clears, quite comfortably!

















Also finished installing the LED deck lights.

























Moved on to installing the VHF antennae.  The halyard exit plate is a good alternative to a hole and grommet It allows the heavy duty VHF coax to bend smoothly, while shedding rain from entering the mast.














And on the other side, the WIFI antennae/Bullet receiver.  I will tighten up the CAT 5e cable so it does not interfere with the main sail or halyard.











Started re-installing the PVC beadboard headliner today.  I also patched all of my oops divits, etc. in preparation for a final touch up paint.  Major items on my To Do List in order of priority:
