Winter Maintenance

 Louisa is out of the water for some winter maintenance, first time in a few years. I am more nervous about her being on the hard than I ever was when she was on her various moorings.



On the list are painting the deck, painting a boot stripe and some minor works to simplify the electrics and clean the interior. Of the deck fittings that are coming off, only the starboard genoa track is proving difficult to remove. 13 screws, none of which will budge with an impact driver. Next ideas include a pneumatic impact driver and drilling them out!
