Well then, after way too long the refit of “Badger II” is complete (well almost).
Safety rails were fitted today along with all new Stainless Steel safety lines. Rudder was fitted & aligned and finally the mast & all above deck refitted & set up for a test sail (maybe this Saturday).
The Display Stand still needs a coat or three of epoxy and I’d like to apply another coat of Spar Varnish to the rub rail around the deck. Also the standing rigging all needs to be redone after a test sail or two.
I have purchased tiny stainless steel screw eyes to replace the way out of scale ones currently fitted to the mast & booms but this can wait till she sails a few times first.
Now just to make a new battery pack as I’ve currently pinched the one that gets shared between the 10R and the IOM.
Hopefully some video of her sailing this weekend will be the final post in this very long rebuild project.
