Work continues on the Slient Option. Our CSY44 Walk over

Progress has been painfully slow over the last year and a half but we did finally do a few days of sailing this summer.

Thanks to some help from a friend, Josh Johnson we were able to get underway and test our new book arrangement and test a spinnaker that Josh had available.

Since arriving in Virginia repairs and additions include.

-Davit arch
The arch was constructed of 1.5 inch stainless to hold our 10 foot avon and provide mounting for antennas and solar panels.

-Swim platform
The entire family loves to swim and scuba dive so we knew we would need a large swim platform.  The frame is 1.5 inch stainless and appears to be perfect so far.

-Replaced plastic portlights in aft cabin with brass ports from New Found Metal.

-Rewired the entire boat and replaced every electrical fitting.

-Repaired rubrail destroyed during Katrina.

-Replaced every plumbing related part in the boat.

-Removed 30 year old holding tanks.
My favorite part of the job as you might imagine.
