Hey Jim, I'm sailing in my front yard right now. I hope to get "Meg" ready by late July, early August. I'm going to pull the CB and I'm replacing all the exterior teak. Just got back from buying the wood...Teak is at a whopping $26 a board ft. yikes...decided to bite the bullet, so I guess I can't complain. I want to do the Angel Island overnight as one of my first sails when we are shipshape, but I will get up with you when we get her ready.
Now: Here's a question for everyone out there. My M-17 #383 has the drains that are attached to hoses and exit thru and under the waterline. This concerned me when I first saw it, but they have appeared to work fine in the relatively calm conditions that I have been in so far. Any reason to think it is not good the way it is? I read a lot of info on changing/re-working cockpit drains. Is there any reason to? Any thoughts? Wish I was sailing right now. Soon.
