Our Winter Worklists, 2007 edition.

Post by **dasein668** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 9:43 pm

Well, it's that time again... Inspired by Figment, I present My Winter Worklist, 2007. Some of these may seem vaguely familiar...

Must do...
1. Run a vent line and install a fitting for holding tank.
2. Improve holding tank retention system.
3. Run fresh-water fill hose from deck fitting to fresh-water tank.
4. Finish lazyjacks project started last spring.
5. 4-5 coats of varnish.
6. Fix falling-down headliner in head compartment.
7. Wire running lights.
8. Install nice fitting at mast base where masthead wires exit.

Desired...
9. Restrike and paint boot.
10. Finish v-berth: beadboard, paint, headliner, lockers.
11. Rigid boom vang.

For once, pleasantly brief! I'm sure other things might come to mind, however. How 'bout everybody else?

Winter:

Install cabin sole.
Install raw water seacock and re-plumb engine
Install engine and transmission controls
Install new engine electrical panel (nearly finished)
Finish icebox (add drain, lid, and top insulation)
Bolt in toilet and install head cabinet panel (already built)
Install battery boxes (already made)
Outline galley structure and finish insulating hull

Big One - New standing rigging and roller reefing

Spring:

Paint hull and deck (already prepped)
Paint cabin liner
Install toerail
All the stuff that didn't get finished over the winter

If time is available:

Start interior paneling

I had a lot more but I scratched it off the list. Lots of rigging stuff isn't going to happen this year.

This Winter:
Finish the nylon drifter project.
Go sailing and enjoy all last winter's improvements!

Post by **Tim** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 6:40 am

1. New anchor rode (to replace the one broken by Bruno Trouble's Wanaka during the cruise this year)

2. Replace masthead light

3. Lengthen the backstay

4. Buy new chart #13305

5. Replace, or otherwise troubleshoot, radar cable

6. Finally replace jibsheets with a single length to eliminate annoying knots at cringle

7. Varnish, of course, particularly on the areas I ignored this year

8. I'd love to repaint the hull--probably not this winter, but it's in the back of my mind.

9. The nonskid needs to be redone

10. A variety of sewing/canvas repair tasks required (minor)

With luck, I'll get the boat indoors for a couple weeks so I can take care of all the required and deferred maintenance in comfort and without being subjected to the vagaries of Maine's spring weather.

Our winters here on the Chesapeake Bay are, compared to what a lot of you have to deal with, are a breeze, but they are still too cold and wet to do much to the outside of our boats. I envy you who can call the guys with that hydaulic trailer rig to pick up your boat at the marina and bring it home for you to work on there. Winter here is mostly a time for doing what can be done below or in your garage. That still leaves pages of stuff for me to do on my two boats. I'm not kidding, pages...

Ceasar Choppy · Post by **Ceasar Choppy** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 10:11 am

Couldn't agree with you more there keelbolts. Much of what I need to do will have to wait for warmer weather in the spring, but here is my 2007-8 list:

1. Replace the port lights: Now that I finally have my portlights and have had them machined (don't get me started on trashing Mariner's Hardware or I won't stop!), I need to fill/reinforce the space between cabintop and inner liner to get sufficient thickness, trim some holes and install the portlights.

2. Rebed the deadlights. The rebedding job I did two years ago didn't work.

3. Replace centerboard pennant system: I'm still in the planning stages on this one, but I need to grind out the waterproof sheave boxes and replace them and the red brass conduit.

4. Install new centerboard "winch" system: replace the winch with a bock and tackle system for rope.

5. Install new waterheater.

6. Refinish toe rail and replace 8 ft genoa tracks (warmer weather).

7. Re-route battery cables and some wiring when I install new water heater.

I'm trying to keep the list short this year... but I'm sure it will be double by Jan.

Tim Mertinooke · Post by **Tim Mertinooke** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 10:44 am

1. Clean stem to stern

2. Rebuild head

3. Make new interior cushions and covers

4. Normal diesel maintenance (oil, etc.)

5. Address bow sprit concerns

6. Drink beer in the cabin to acclimate to new teak surroundings.

Triton 53 · Post by **Triton 53** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 11:57 am

1. win Power-ball
2. watch someone else do all the above work

still sanding the bottom

Figment · Post by **Figment** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 12:59 pm

I find myself with absolutely no motivation whatsoever, but ok fine, put away the poking-stick.

Let's start with leftovers from the 2006 list.

1 Build a new foredeck hatch. existing one is just fugly. Or I may just build a wooden recess for a manufactured unit. not likely. lowest priority, unless I find a hatch that fell off the back of a truck or something.
2 FINALLY convert the cockpit seats to hinged lockers. (this may or may not include the "daysailing icebox" idea) finish prettying up the cockpit well, and do the damn hinges already. Replumb and "uncork" the side deck drains.
3 disregard foolish notion
5 disregard impossible notion
6 (re)install foredeck cowl vent and/or hawse pipe. Might as well find bow chocks while I'm at it. hey, this actually seems achievable
7 replace long-demolished concealment panel behind the head. Even I'm getting tired of looking at the plumbing. Primary focus for this year. must-do.
11 Build hinged mounting panel for VHF, GPS, Sailing instruments. two excellent woodworkers have shown interest in doing this as a favor. we'll see.
13 Backstay adjuster. lose one purchase and shorten
15 Apply name and port of call on transom. yeah whatever
18 New boarding ladder. have ladder, need hangers that work on genoa track.
19 New rudder I'm really not in the mood for this, I'll nurse it for another year
21 Laminate a new tiller. 4" longer, and beefier in the hand. see note on number 11.

New additions to the list for 2007? Absolutely friggin not. I'd like to go skiing at least a few times this year.

Post by **dasein668** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 1:15 pm

Not having the boat in your shed probably doesn't help much with the motivation factor, huh?

You now have a serious motivational factor for this one, so it ought to be easy to get done.

Zach · Post by **Zach** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 3:04 pm

Epoxy and bed in deck fittings.
Attempt to drain deck core of water before freezing temperatures arrive.
Replace cockpit drains.
Glass in gauge holes, controls, and fuel fill.
Finalize outboard mount.
Remove all fake wood laminate... and assess bulkhead condition
Remove the ice box, glass in deck hatch.
Install holding tank for head.
Clean and paint: lockers, and bilge.

Idea phase:
Bow roller and stern roller for anchors.
Wind vane
Revamp of running rigging, decide what stays at the mast and what should stay running to the cockpit, I'm somewhat afraid of hanging myself

Spring:
Re-core the deck.
Replace standing rigging, and decide whether or not the mast extrusion stays or goes.
Boom gallows

Figment · Post by **Figment** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 3:14 pm

The cowl vent is easy enough, I simply need to convince myself that I actually want it instead of just a hawse pipe for the anchor rode.

So much for discipline. Damn Jamestown and their deal-of-the-week emails!

http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/us ... +Thrusters

sigh. Now that I stop and think for a minute, there is more to my list.
I have a minor hull repair where the PO's transducer was located.
I need a new stern rail.
My boom and gooseneck aren't getting along with each other.
New stainless prop shaft, and cutless bearing while I'm there.
Spreader thumbs.

Boats are fun, right?

jhenson · Post by **jhenson** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 3:35 pm

Let?s see:

-continue fairing anytime the temperature goes over 60 degrees

-replace v-berth bunks

-replace settee fronts

-repair aft cabin bulkhead

-replace cabin sole

-replace shaft log

I have about 1000 small jobs to do also on the CAL 27 when it goes on the hard.

I'll bite:

Finish constructing/sewing dodger
Construct new drifter
Install Dickinson solid fuel heater

A surprisingly short list - for once. There will, I'm sure, be a number of smaller projects to complete in the spring before we set off on a month-long cruise during July.

Well, I got my boat covered today. Scratch the first item off the list.

I need to go back and pretty it up since it was dark by the time I started covering it with the tarps. Probably not so slick looking in the daylight.

Less fancy than before but I have about given up on getting much done in the winter at the yard.

catamount · Post by **catamount** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 8:41 pm

These items are DONE:

catamount wrote:Rebed Hatches

backing plates for cleats and other hardware
Rebuild Primary Sheet Winches 55s (two)
Rebuild Secondary Sheet Winches 44s (two)
Rebuild Halyard Winches 30s (six of them!)

I've made major progress on this item:

Rebedding of all deck Hardware

But this is only about half of what I had hoped to get accomplished in the month of November....

Overhauling those ten winches was quite a job, as they were pretty loaded with lots of dirty grease and other gunk. I went through about 5 gallons of old diesel fuel as a solvent to clean all the innards. By the way, the number designations don't just refer to the winches' power ratios, but also represents the number of bits and pieces inside each one! ;-)

My general procedure was to soak the whole winch in a bucket of oil to soften up the old grease, disassemble the winch and scrub each of the pieces in the oil with a toothbrush, dental pick, etc..., then scrub each piece again in fresh clean oil to wash off the dirty greasey oil left from the first scrubbing, dry each piece with paper towels and/or newspaper, then wash each piece with hot water and dish soap in the kitchen sink, dry them again, and finally apply a very thin coating of fresh grease (oil on the pawls and springs) while re-assembling -- which is assuming that I could remember how to put all the pieces back together again (The 30's were easy, but for the 44s and 55s, I only did one winch at a time, so that I had it's pair still assembled to look at if I had any questions).

As soon as I get through exams and grading (and christmas shopping) then I'll get to all the polishing and other machining outlined in my worklist, so I can finish installing all the deck hardware, and then on to the rest of my list...

You guys are killing me. No I have not been ignoring this "list thing" but having started several lists only to abandon the effort after realizing that I basically need to do everything - I would like to include the very important priority of the consumption of cold beer and the ingestion of wonderful food while bobbing around on 466 while in it's various states of repair. Cheers from winter stir crazy, Connecticut

catamount · Post by **catamount** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 8:56 pm

Pheww,

I've still got at least 19 weekends before my launch date, which has yet to be scheduled but will hopefully be sometime between Memorial Day and the middle of June. You gave me a start there, for a moment, Mike....

The following items can now (more or less) be crossed off my list:

drill set screw holes in new stanchion bases and stern pulpit
drill holes for securing stern pulpit to base
spacers for stern pulpt height adjustment in base?
re-do countersink in stern pulpit base
hole for running stern light wiring through stern pulpit?
fiberglass backing plates for stanchions and handrails
polish new bases for stern pulpit
polish bow pulpit
polish stern rail
polish lifeline stanchions
Install Pulpits, Stanchions, and New Lifelines

Oooh, ooooh, I'm going to add this one to my list.

This will have to be a year for doing only what must be done. My wife thinks I should finish the addition on our house. For the life of me, I can't figure out why that is so important, but I think it will behoove me to comply with her wishes.

catamount · Post by **catamount** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 12:39 pm

OK, launch date scheduled for Friday May 30, so that's 19 weekends left...

jollyboat · Post by **jollyboat** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 5:28 pm

I decided to stay in the water this winter - the winters are somewhat mild on coast this far south in Connecticut - I have the boat as close as a short walk down my street - my big project will be tossing the old A-4 back into the bilge along with all the other bits that accompany the engine. I have new winch bases and winches to be installed and a lot of other things too but I am not going to let that stop me from sailing first and installing tid bits later. Last summer I finished a lot of big mechanicals - aside of the engine - so 466 is not far from pulling on the bit.

Figment · Post by **Figment** » Fri Feb 29, 2008 12:19 pm

I dunno why I bothered to start the countdown back in January. I haven't done a damn thing. Haven't even ordered any parts.

8 weekends left, two of which will be spent on other commitments.
6 weekends. Damn!

I would say that the cover is coming off St. Patty's day like always, but then I'm away the following weekend, so it might as well wait a bit.
This could get interesting.

Yeah, I'm sure that those are not even on your radar right now. Still, I would love to see some of these on a real Triton.

You know, one that is:

-in the water
-fully rigged
-functional

Hey Joe, why don't you just churn out a few more sets of those spiffy eyebrows and send them them along to any Tritons owners who promise to install them before Spring launch? You might get one or two volunteers. ;)

jhenson · Post by **jhenson** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 1:35 pm

Hmmmmm......

Thats a good idea. While I'm at it, I could start a line of molded cockpit locker gutters for early model Tritons. I could even offer some custom cockpit/engine access hatches, as well.

I'm sure no one would mind waiting the 6 months or so it seems to take me to knock these things out.

Maybe I could retire from my airline job early!!

I've got a sure-fire way to REALLY make your new business take off: extend those services to Ariel owners as well. I mean, Ariels are just small Tritons, right?

Oh! And while we're brainstorming, you should definitely include "cap rails" in your product line...

The dodger frame

David

I've finally resumed work on the dodger. I've cut all of the panels except for the side curtains, and I'm in the process of finishing the windows. It's amazing just how much time this kind of work takes. Once the windows are in and trimmed, I can begin assembling the panels. It will be cool to see this thing take shape.

Here are a few photos of the window measurements and installation.

Since this is my first time with something like this, there's a lot of "intelligent" guesswork involved. I suppose those who've done it a few times are far more confident that it will fit snugly and have all the right parts in all the right places. My biggest concern at this point is whether or not the bottoms of the side windows will be parallel to the cabin. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

These jobs are finally done. The hardest part was installing the foam core between the cabin liner and the cabin top to get a uniform thickness. The other difficult part was figuring out how to mount these windows since they assumed you'd just screw them in. I couldn't use binding bolts either because the holes in the trim rings didn't line up. I had to epoxy in insert nuts on both sides of the cabin top. I'm really happy with how they turned out-- no thanks to Mariner's Hardware when they screwed them up and then left me hangin.
