Getting Started

Lots of projects and no time to get them done. Luckily Finesse doesn't splash until after memorial day. This blog will highlight the progress towards getting her ready.

Finesse is a 1984 Sabre 32 Aft Cabin. She's new to me for 2 years now and we love her. Our previous boat, Quissett, was a Bill Tripp desgined 1969 era Galaxy 32. That was a project boat for me: new rigging, new electrical system, new paint job, and figureing out fun stuff like how to fix core rot.

Amongst the projects will be:

• Replace boom controls (topping lift, outhaul)
• Install new Garmin GPSMAP 3205 and GMR 18 radome on a Garhauer radar pole
• Install flexibile solar panel
• Repack packing nut
• Paint bottom
• Rebed Chainplates
• etc.
