Piddling…

Not a whole lot to report this morning. I finished up the port installation on the starboard hull, made plans for mounting the spinnaker tack cleat and the spinnaker halyard cleat (I have to revive a loose Harken swivel first), and sent off a list of new lines we need to be ordered. We have a new spinnaker sheet (3/8″ Samson Apex), a new spinnaker halyard, and tack line (both 1/4″ Excel Racing w/ Dyneema core) on the way. Because we are still running the older design bail for the spinnaker hoist, we elected to not strip the cover from the front of the spinnaker halyard because chafing of the exposed core could become an issue. We could do that later if we address the spinnaker hoist mechanics.
It looks like we might have some rain this evening so it will give me a chance to eye-splice the jib sheet tail and the jib uphaul and/or finalize the Team Seacats T-shirt design so we can send them off to be made.
