We tie our sailbag to the outhaul's thimble and that stops it moving forward. Your boat is looking great and fantastic to see you both out on the water. It was a long off-season for everyone.
Ooh that’s a thought ❤ I just planned stitching across the back so that the end of boom track slug can’t shimmy behind the bag in the track. Our other upgrade to the sailbag backfires too. The new lazy jack loops were stitched across the pocket for the tension bars. Bad enough we were charged huge money for new zipper and 3 loops by the guy in the midlands without finding the job was budgied up
@@johnosullivan9650 - it never ceases to amaze me that some people never check their work. I know that when I stitch things I sometimes sew more bits together than I intend (that is why I get Gaynor to do all the sewing aboard). The canvas work does look good though and the boat looks very smart.
@beverleyportlock9680 sabre sails in Swansea did our sprayhood which we love. We didn’t think we had to double check our stackpack when we got it done by someone in the business 🤯
Great you escaped and had the weather to do it with. Your engine is cleaner than my boat😩 Can you keep the calm seas and fair winds until the middle of June please as we will be there on the 2nd all being well. Have fun
Believe me Roy. Engine was just spruced up for season start. Have to change alternator from V belt to flat belt type as v belt getting chewed up. We figured might as well use up our spare v belt before changing. The boat itself is still a desperate mess, everything out of lazerette for eberspracher install. Still waiting for John to tidy ductwork out of the way so we can use it again.
So fantastic to finally get out of the marina after 10 months confined to port by bad weather, work and plenty of upgrades to the boat.
Love seeing the banter between you guys
Ah the craic is mighty
Maybe I should have said “the force is strong in this one “ considering the weekend that was in it 😂

Thanks for the tip. I’ll look at the possibility of doing that instead. Might have to put a loop on as a tie on point

Hopefully we toddle off on big adventures of summer end of June. Plan on Isles of Scilly 🤞
