And this winter we got lots done.  Here Karen is removing the old crumbling flotation from the 1977 Melges M20 that our friend Eric Hall converted to an I20.  That styrofoam looks like it might be 30 years old!  Karen had to crawl below deck to pull out the yukky stuff.  And she went below again to install the newstuff…very brave!

Stew spent his time on windward sheeting cars for both I20s.  Those sure work nice when dropping the traveler in a puff. Stay tuned for a shot of the new traveler support Stew bedded across the Melges cockpit. Nice!

The big unexpected job was late March and early April when a sidestay broke on Whistlebritches leaving us without a mast in the middle of the Potomac.  New gooseneck, shrouds and a different mast hinge were all installed.  The boom vang should work better with this new configuration.
