Devil is in the details

But first: whoa, what happened? This is what was waiting at the docks when I decided to take a gander on a semi-sunny day...



Regardless of our hard efforts to secure the A-frame with weights etc the aft part had moved about 40 cm to babord, maybe due to strong winds. The cover was ok at the fore. So the work doesn't really stop...



Anyhow, with about five months remaining before Summertime should be ready for the sea again, it's time to start thinking of repairs. Mikko had mentioned that he'd like to polish the instruments in the cockpit, so here are some detail shots.





Summertime came equipped with a Silva compass, an original installation from 1965. Hopefully Mikko will have the endurance to polish this too :-)



And finally, we'll have to sort out the electrics as well, but it seems to be a simple system, and properly documented too.
