ak     NEED TO BE ADDRESSED LATER·    

·         [Deck] add "safety strap" to keep engine and LPG lid attached to the boat.

  [out of water] Centerboard has lateral crack - need to be prepared to repair it. [nothing to do before hulling boat out of water. Not critical due to centerboard ballast made from lead pallets seeped in epoxy.]

 [out of water] Centerboard pivot axle if slot. centerboard is knocking when boat shakes side to side

[out of water] centerboard lift line pipe has to be straightened and reclamped. [planned at time when boat will be on dry]

[mast] front chainplate had welded pin for pulpit ind was ripped out. Looking to replace chainplate. [chainplate ordered, need to order one mere piece and weld them or bolt and make it overlapping in the pin.]

·         [Engine] add buzzer to engine alarm lamps (LOUD buzzer).

·         [Structural]  Epoxy wood connection between bulkhead parts.
