a hole in the ocean

Some one once said that a boat is like a hole in the ocean; into it you throw all your spare cash. I am trying to keep track of all the new stuff I buy for this old boat. The cost of all new items added to an old boat is not recoverable when you sell the boat later.

Magnum 21

1. Jockey wheel

The original jockey wheel that came with the boat was old but still working well. I decided to change it because I parked my boat on the front lawn which slopes the wrong way. When it rains the cockpit fills with rain water. The new jockey wheel has a longer reach, tilting the front of the boat higher and so drains the water to the back and out through the drain holes.

failed WOF

My first submission for Warrant of Fitness failed for 2 reasons:
1. rust corrosion on the trailer.
2. the light board was too narrow.

For welding the trailer, I need to remove the boat somehow and then send the empty trailer to the workshop.

I removed the mast, rudder and outboard engine, storing them temporarily behind the house.
