Winter Projects

The big one this winter is the new Flex-o-Fold prop which i will have to shoot some pictures of as it is a piece of artwork

The old prop and shaft are out and after i lap the new prop on the new shaft there really wont any old stuff on board except the refurbished motor



I am plugging up all the old worn out instrument holes but it got a bit to cold for the glass work so it will get finished the next 50 degree weather streak

I refinished the old cabin top teak sliders for the hatch and they look really nice and will take a shot after there back in

The boat is all ready for winter the interior is removed and the fiberglass repiars from the boat hitting me over the summer are about 1/2 done



It would not be fall without a giant pile of leaves

winters work begins

During todays snow storm i warmed up the motor changed the oil and winterized the motor and water system



The custom hole on the transmission cover allows about 95% of the old oil to be removed

A good way to end the season

As the sun sets on the 2011 season




The old folks club took home another first in the Main and Jib division on the second weekend of manhasset bay fall series 2011

a short weekend trip

Well summer is gone and I wanted to make at least one overnight trip on the boat this season so to oyster bay I went

It was a MUCH better day than the forecast plenty of wind and NO rain on what was supposed to be a washout so sometimes it pays to take a chance



On Saturday night there was a huge fireworks display for some unknown reason as i did not thing October 1 was a special day ?



The most impressive thing was how clean the water along the shore was

It's getting a bit cold

As fast as it got hot the highs this weekend on the water were about 68 with 15 to 20 knots of wind on Sunday so it's dodger time
