Momentum

I've added a little vessel to my collection of toys. It's a Dehler Sprinta Sport 23, made by Brighton boatworks in Canada. It needs a lot of work Here's the list:

1. New Stanchion Base on left side near the gate, some deck work
2. new stanchion bases all around
3. secure the bow pulpit
4. open bow storage - break the little lock with bolt cutter
5. Seal windows
6. Cut new wood interior out of teak or mahogany
7. Sand floorboards
8. Build cockpit entry step
9. Add sealant around cockpit electronics
10. Grease up the winches
11. New cots with foam filler (gave cots to expert canvasworker Mark Gibbs)
12. Re0-paint the name on the topsides
13. Buy new lines or soak the usable ones in soapy water
14. Paint the gas can black
15. Throw the outboard overboard, get new outboard or none at all for sidetie
16. Consider getting roller furling or tiller pilot
