More viper work

Today Adrienne took off to Burlington with here Mom and Sisters to visit her Nana, and I took advantage of the alone time to work on the Viper.

Today I added the new spinnaker blocks, took the old blocks off and reinstalled the pad eyes with some silicon, added a new inspection port between the keel trunk and the main sheet block, and I removed the old roller bar at the end of the spin launcher shoot.

Here's some pictures of the progress today. Enjoy!

Viper #29 Restoration Day 1 (April 30/11)

Today was the start of the work on Viper #29.

The day started off with a drive to Adrienne's Uncle's farm to pick the boat up from storage. No doubt the tires were flat. Thankfully it was just a slow leak, so I was able to tow it home.

Once I got the boat home I started on the work. Here's a list of what I was able to get done today.

- Removed Old Hiking Straps

- Removed locker hatches

- Removed cockpit floor inspection port

- Added 2 new 4" inspection ports to the forward end of the lockers

- Re-installed locker hatches (you're suppose to re-install them upside down so you don't snap the hinges)

- Attempted to install a new 6" inspection port to the cockpit floor but it was the wrong size

- Installed 4 pad eyes and safety lines.

Here's some pictures of the work.

Cheers!
