SPRING LAUNCH & FALL HAUL OUT

Well, we made it into the water on May 22nd and I'm a bit behind on posting information. The new bottom performed well over the summer months. Very pleased with the results.


And now the season is over and Hullabaloo has been pulled back out of the water.



Many plans for this winter. I'm working on putting together the list of things to do. So far on the list is:

  1. Re-template the keel.

  2. Touch up a few imperfections on the bottom that I did not have time to address before launch in spring.

  3. Repair a soft spot in one of the cockpit seats.

  4. Re-install the bulkhead that goes over the engine compartment.

  5. Install a windward sheeting traveler and replace the main sheet cleat & pulleys (the existing cleat and pulleys have seen MUCH better days).

  6. Figure out why the transmission is slipping. This began about mid way through the season this year.

  7. Replace the batteries. I've been running on one very week battery for the season.

That's the list so far. And that is plenty to handle. Until the work begins, Hullabaloo is tucked away in heated storage next to another J/30 - Flock 'n Geese.
