Dinghy Mini Update - It's been a while....

          It has been quite some time since I wrote last and a lot has gone on, though sadly, not a ton in my boating world. Of key note though, as of the last few weeks, I've been preparing the dinghy for some epoxy fixes and measuring everything needed to install the sailing modifications. As a quick preview, here are some pieces epoxied and ready to be installed on the dinghy.

Mast step screwed and glued together.

The doubler for the mast partner.

          I have a handful of things to finish still and I am hoping the boat has dried out enough so that I can fill some leaks we found under the rear seat. If I am lucky, I'll fill the leak with thickened epoxy this Friday and take her out for a row Saturday after it has dried. We will see! It's a little challenging working on her since I have left the boat 4hr away at my parent's house. At least this way I have access to power tools and can work inside. Anyway, a more complete update soon!
