Please use the discussion page to discuss the prioritization and content of any of these tasks.

Pre-storage (fall) tasks

• Lay out all sails and look for any issues
• Wipe down all surfaces to reduce mold/mildew. (Vinegar? Peroxide? Bleach? Wood soap?)
• Remove PFDs, lines,
• Dry the spare lines, spinnakers, and anything else that’s wet, especially if they will be stored somewhere without air circulation
• Inspect all sails, lines, rig hardware, and spars before storing them for the winter
• Inspect and inventory safety gear, medical kit, etc.
• Inventory spare parts and make list of needed replacements
• Scrub bilges around engine with Joy to remove fuel leak residue
• Scrub overhead above refrigerator to remove mildew

Random Work

• Buntlines for main sail reefing (these are the lines that pass through the grommets in the sail)
• Repair hinges on lazarette hatch
• Topsides paint – if repainting isn’t on the list this year, inspect the cracks at the plank ends around the edges of the transom to make sure they aren’t holding water

Sails

• 140. Small hole? Luff tape broken? Need one batten.

• Big Red- Repair tear near clew
• Code Zero- longer discussion here re: new cable system or new sail
• New #3 jib?

Rigging

• Replace + test port spreader light
• Second spinnaker halyard done properly - consistent in diameter
• Possible jib sheet replacement
• Cunningham purchase system to easily be soft shackled on when needed
• Furler line led aft to cockpit- Add tail when needed? Block attachment point? More lines in the cockpit is not good except for shorthanded deliveries. Possible solution is to add an extension.
• Winches broken down and greased
• Jib prefeeder
• Whipped jib sheet ends
• Tack line hardware for attaching spin roller furler to a jamming bight
• Non-cotter-pin turnbuckle jams (screw-fastened blocks, ring-dings, etc)

Miscellaneous

• We need a new canvas boot for the mast-deck connection
• Two little covers for furler line port.
• We need a new (3rd) cowl vent, one went missing at the start of the season
• High water bilge alarm should be rewired to also pump; right now if the lower switch fails the high water alarm will go off but the pump won’t run
• (reposting) All the hatch hinges need to be strengthened and repaired. We had water intrusion and loss of almost all of them this year (I think it was time catching up to them?)
• The forward hatch teeth (the part attached to the hull that the latch goes in) needs to be re-attached
• The whole inside of the hull needs to be gone over, especially in the cockpit lockers. There was significant mold/mildew buildup
• Purchase more sail ties that are extra-long
• purchase some of those blue grippy gloves or similar for the boat to have for people to use
• Create a way to hold the lid under the forepeak berth open when rummaging for supplies
• Housing for the radar reflector—a bag or permanent hook or both
• Figure out anti-fouling for the dinghy motor (doesn't tilt far enough up to keep prop out of water).

Centerboard

• Plan is to pull the board right away when hauled.
• Grind off head until it swings easily through wood on top of the lead keel while swelled up. Remove board again and glass up properly and install downhaul line up through the tube to the cabin top as well.

Radar and electronics

• More permanent/waterproof template for radar base -- maybe the bipod solution?
• Get rid of gremlins in the wireless displays (voltage boost?)
• Get touchscreen physical buttons properly working
• New Raymarine radar so that we can it to display on the chart plotter?
• Get a new MMSI and reprogram everything so we don't conflict with "FUSION" on the west coast?
• Electrical panel -- replace LED for running lights
• Spreader lights - replace with LEDs?

Safety

• Some safety provisions for short-handed and/or night time sailing?
• SOP + pictures of jackline setup

• Encourage all to take a Safety at Sea seminar this winter.

Mechanical

• Purchase new self-sealing washer for fuel stop solenoid and replace: Volvo Part 21424327
• Polish fuel, once in Spring, once again in mid-summer. Extra racor filters and a video of changing and seating washers and gaskets properly?
• Purge and bleach out water systems yes
• Replace low-pressure engine oil line near on-engine fuel filter that has a nick and slow oil leak. It is getting worse. (+ reattach to prevent chafe; check other lines for potential chafe).
• Deck fill o-rings need replacing, especially for the diesel tank
• Procure spare oil filter
• Check engine mounts -- stbd forward seems off

Next summer

• Training sessions
• Skipper dry run for jacklines + MOB

Completed Tasks

• Repaired forward hatch hinges
