Planns for this year before the boat goes into the water

The bottom paint gets redone (each year)
We will be designing and building a new mast step system (parts are in)
The 2 front windows are being replaced with some well purchased ones off eBay ( brass)
All lines aft 2 block only (parts and new winches are in)
Improve the lawrence system its not working the way i want it.
Install the new compass
A new electric winch for the anchor ( I hope)
We are going to start the interior woodwork and replace the temporary one that was installed when I bought the boat
All the life lines need replacing and because Torry will be on board this comming year I need to put up safety netting
The furler is not going to happen this year as much as I want.
I have some new instruments coming for installation but they too will take some work to set up
Im way over budget for the year on upgrades and its time to stop

The compas light

well Im going to have to modify the light housing so, before I start cutting things up I want to make sure this is going to work.r

Danforth constelation compass an ,ebay buy. We took the light housing off, it was just raw cast bronze that was never finnished, it got pollished and the light had the old 1940s bulb in it , it got modified and we mounted some LED lights into it , it looks much cleaner now.
