Reply to: What Did You Do Plan For the Cat? (Projects and Plans)

Message body

[quote=tominpa]I'm ready for Spring, but the weather is not, so I thought I'd share my plans for when the weather turns, and see what the rest of you have in mind.  Hopefully, you won't make me want to spend more money on this old beachcat.  :yes:

After refinishing the hulls last year, I have gotten new wire rigging.  The boat is completely disassembled now, so it should not be hard to match-up the new wire and have pretty close to the same rake and tension for next season.  The plan is to put on a new trampoline this season and will probably order from SLO shortly. The upgrade to Tanara Teflon, but at 63, I figure V-138 Polyester might outlast my sailing days with proper care.  I will be pulling the trigger on that in the next week or so.

An earlier thread this year got me interested in Hydroturf. I plan to cut a 47 x 86 sheet with contact adhesive to provide seating and friction on both sides.  New shock cord for the trapeze wires, and I'm looking for a large cat righting bag.

Finally, I have a set of new decals to be applied to the hulls.  These are the new 2-part NACRA decals (Blue on Black) that were purchased in a group buy last fall from Europe.  That's probably the most technical project. I wonder if anyone else has gotten a set applied yet?

Right now, everything is sitting under cover waiting for the Spring thaw.[/quote]
