Hi:

This is the website for Owen Carter, a British guy who has been living in Amsterdam for the last 11 years.

I'm afraid there is nothing earth-shattering here, no solutions for World Peace, no cures for peoples ills.. Just a few of my photos and ramblings.

Rigged.

I finally got the mast on Coppelia up yesterday, and the sails raised, really pleased!

coppelia-mastStill a way to go before first trip on the water:

  • Sail repairs: cleats on foresails, rip in spinnaker.
  • Mainsail outhaul (clew) needs strengthening.
  • Halyards need fittings splicing to the line.
  • Toestraps to be purchased and fitted.
  • Deck fittings need sealing in place, keel bolt needs sealing.
  • Rear lockers need lockable catches fitting.
  • Sort out the forestay bottom fitting, it’s a mess at the moment.

The list is growing shorter every day :-)
