Keel after refitting in boat.

The keel is now back in the boat, and the new winch mechanism works well. Many thanks to Cassje for helping me to get the bolt in place, it was not easy.. The list of things to do is getting shorter:

• Seal keel bolt, replace and seal a load of fittings, get some matching locks and some lock-plates for the cockpit lockers.
• Paint cockpit floor with anti-slip, make and fit toe-straps, end-stops on mainsheet track.
• General hull cleaning and touch-up, seal up some cracks.
• Mast and rigging; do a dummy-run on the rigging and work out what needs to be replaced, find any sail repairs that are necesscary.
• Test sail on the Gaasperplas..
• I’d like to sort electrics and some running lights out too, plus interior fittings and cushions.
