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!

New Blog

So I've decided to delete all my old blog posts and start fresh.

This Blog will be dedicated towards many different projects that I'm working on. Right now, I have two active projects. First is my cedar strip canoe. Second is my Viper 640 sailboat.

I will post updates as necessary.

That's it for now!
