Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in
a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming; "WOW-- What a
Ride!"

Finally the project is complete! Really pleased how it turned out, thought I
would share some pics and details.   

 

First thing was to remove all the old hardware and fill all the holes, There
were a few nuts and cap nuts that protruded on the deck from inside the
cabin that secured the hand rails, we removed those and replaced with barrel
nuts for a nice flush deck.   After the hardware was laid out and drilled we
used barrel nuts inside as well to get rid of all the nuts and cap nuts
inside the cabin.  Where ever I removed hardware from the mast or boom I
filled the holes with stainless steel set screws, with liberal amounts of
duralac applied.    The layout is from outboard port working in:  Foreguy,
Traveler, Topping Lift, Mainsheet  on starboard working in Foreguy,
traveler, vang, mainsheet.  The winches on the cabin top were moved as far
inboard as we could get them and Im happy to say that with the dodger up we
can now trim the winches a full 360 with a short handle.  The winches on the
deck are for Jib and  Spin halyards (got them off the mast) so that now the
crew can truly jump the halyards the way they should, rather than fighting
with a short pull and busting knuckles on winches.   I went with the flat
four deck organizer rather than a double stacked to keep everything as flush
to the deck as possible, the double stacked might have provided a little bit
better lead  to the winches but all in all it turned out pretty good with a
nice balance for racing and cruising.
