Spring Sailboat Prep Starts

Well it is March 15 and 80 degrees.  I met up with the most of the crew on Wednesday at the barn where two S2 7.9 racing sailboats are stored.  After a bit of refreshment, we started working on adding spinnaker ram cleats to the top deck and moving bottom paint line up four inches by removing the old vinyl trim and sanding out the lines.

A flourescent bulb burned out and made a nasty smell, and the 30 seconds it took us to find the burning object was high excitement.  Nobody wanted the boats to burn up.

Time for a break and some pizza.

Till next week.
