Slow start to the sailing season as we went away for June (non-boat trip). Finally got away for the weekend to the Toronto Islands with the kids but boat still under used, hence we are reluctantly selling.

Spring (July this year) maintenance and upgrades for the year:

-Dodger restitched
-Head pump rebuild
-varnished spreaders
-New mainsheet and 4 part block
-Main halyard routed to cockpit
-New wire Jib Halyard
-New Mizzen staysail Halyard
-Upsized Aft Cleats to 8 inches (2)
-Removable extension for double berth to actually fit 2 adults comfortably
-New set of 12 flares
-New appropriately sized dinghy anchor and stuff sack
-New cover for dinghy sail/spars
-*Numerous other smaller jobs done

Looking at this list I have done more projects than I realizeed this year, and will try and put off some and get some sailing in.
