Boat currently sits covered in snowy Stmboat Co. . At present not one fitting , hatch or portlight is on. She is completely stripped. So I'm a ways out. I have reglassed several spots and put 1/4 inch G-10 on bow and stanchion bases and will be backing with same. I am trying to figure out new configuration on bow for lewmar v700 winch with possibly one cleat in front and chocks to side. I'll also need a anchor roller with anchor ...all things to figure out, any photos or thought would help..
Fore deck hatch will be rebuilt original. Main hatch Lemar ocean 70 and port lights all new New Found Metals. + new Universal diesel ,and all bulkheads repaired and beafed up. Project in every corner and curve. Ugh! and starved for input in this landlocked state..
And yes ,thanks for your input . I was leaning toward larger cleats as well ,but just throwing it out there.
Also I've purchase new I pad, and with a little practice and instruction, will hopefully be adding some photos and asking more questions soon.
It' all taking longer that I desired, but know she'll be sailing pretty at some point...but real work and cold snowy slow progress down.
Cheers & thanks!
