Looking great! I thought this was going to take you two weeks--not two days! Setting some new records on restoration / inspiration!

Must be nice to have a YC with a hoist, and a sailboat trailer, so you can work standing up!

HAHA no sailor takes 2 weeks. :lol:

Yes the YC is good for this kinda work. Taking her out tomorrow on maiden run. A buddy and me are going to put her through all the paces. Have flat water in morning and wind in the afternoon.

While I was doing the boat I have had the trailer revamped as well by adding plastic sleeves to the bunks. Re greased the bearings, checked the disc brakes and carpeted the side bunks.

I have also added new fenders, lines, safety equipment etc. She is a new boat. But she is not red so she will never live up to other boats in the Brats. :roll:

All ready to get out as often as possible. (PS the guy in the picture is not me)
 
Nice work Ranger. If I may ask, what type of antioxidant compound did you use? Did you use a buffer? I'm getting ready to do a deep clean, rub and wax in the next couple of weeks.

It is called Meguiars Marine RV Oxidation remover. Followed by the Pure wax. The oxidation bottle has a 49 on it and the wax a 56. Both blue bottles. I applies by hand and rubbed it in moderate hard. Then on the wax I hand applied let dry and buffed out. No machines. Good luck on your up coming job.
 
Well today was my maiden voyage on C-Hawk. Dropped her in the water from the YC crane went and picked up a buddy and spent 7 hours on the water with beer and food in glorious sunshine. Also caught 7 crab in the first 4 hours. Threw 3 Dungeness back (not big enough for BC) and kept 4 red rock's. 2 for dinner tonight 2 tomorrow. Life is good.
 
Howdy. Congrats on the new boat and all the new adventures to come. I will be running Thalassa back from Pedder Bay to North Saanich tomorrow so if you are on the water give us a hail on 16. Might make a stop at Constance Bank and drag the line for a hour on the way.
Cheers
Terry

Hey Terry I went out to Constance Bank today looking for you. I did hail on 16. I was out there from about 11:30 to noon.

Sorry I missed you. Was a great day on the water regardless.
 
Sorry I missed you, must of been a misread as today I will be out on a slow cruise. Leaving Sooke area around 9:30 and heading back to Sidney. Glad you had a great day and the way the weather is now it would be great to be out every day but the work thing gets in the way. I will try calling.
