Making some more progress

So a few weeks ago, I took the viper to Sarnia to get some work done with Lee and Kelly. Brad Boston was nice enough to let us use his garage to work in as the weather wasn't cooperating with us.

A list of things we got done:

1) New chain plates installed

2) New Guy installed

3) Removed old hiking strap hardware and filled holes

4) Removed old jib cheek blocks and filled holes

5) Added new inspection ports

Since then I've been working away on the boat. Here's a list of things I've done since:

1) Sanded down filled holes for Hiking strap pad eyes.

2) Added pad eyes back onto cockpit

3) Sanded down filled holes for jib cheek blocks.

4) Added new jib cheek blocks

5) Added Gnav hardware at base of mast, forward cockpit, and back at the helm position

6) Added two 4" inspection ports at the back of the cockpit to get at the Gnav hardware

7) Filled in the area where the old spin launcher roller bar was and sanded it down smooth

8) Got the carbon rig (no standing rigging yet)

9) Got hydroturf. but not installed yet.

10) Took keel to T&M Marine to get weight added.

So looking forward, the next steps are to install the forward foot chalks, the new spin launcher bar, and the new rudder post. Once that's done I've got the top of the boat complete and then it's onto removing the old drain plug in the bottom of the boat, filling in that area, and sanding it smooth. From there the boat is ready to race! It's coming along very well now!
