Job list

Job lists.

Tickt off a few jobs this evening. (not the most important ones, but they all add up)

I completed the a/spinnaker bow pole. I had earlier cut the componets for the pole according to designer Ian Farrier's technical drawings and had drilled the holes forall the bits and pieces.

This evening I bolted it all together and cut all the excess thread off the bolts. Nothing is more sloppy than over-lenght bolts.

I can decide later whether to spray paint or have it anodized. Anodizing is quite cheap and not much hassle. But I have all the paint on hand in the form of leftovers. If I paint it, I will save about R300. I can use that for the 12 meters of VHF aerial wire I will need for when I move the VHF aerial from the stern to the masthead.

By the way, the fitting above is not scew. It is angled upwards once bolted onto the stem fitting. Here it is upside down on the work bench.
