all - i have an older softcopy of the manual in case anyone is interested. let me know and I will email to you.
Also, finally sanded down my weatherboards and handrails. when the weather gets a little warmer - probably March - i am going to clean them with spic-n-span/water (Practical Sailor recommends that vs. teak cleaners).
This year I may try teak oil vs Cetol - i didn't like the look of Cetol - too orange. A friend uses Bristol Finish - might try that - anyone here used that in the past?
Also, ordered a new titanium screw and smooth clevis pin (the pin is part of the furling system to attach the link plates to the lower part of furling unit) for my Profurl furler. Amazing - $17 for a screw. The pin was $32 - my current pin had some corrosion and under magnification was pitting. But $32 is cheaper than a downed rig...ordered the parts from pyacht.com - they are an authorized distributor of Profurl parts based in Severn, MD.
Now working on my 2010 "to-do" list....
