RECENT WORK While out of the water in 2018 the current owners to advantage of the
opportunity to properly remove all of the many years buildup of bottom
paint and get down to a nice clean wood surface again. The repainting
was done with input from Petit experts to make sure that the lead keel
and wood was properly treated. While in the barn and dried out a bit
for the first time in years every seam in the entire hull was also gone
over, vacuumed, and repayed with either underwater and topsides seam
compounds for a very tight and long lasting result. The old tar pitch
in the bilge to keel joint was also removed and replaced with expensive
but naturally antimicrobial beeswax, like high end yachts of yesteryear.
The two masts and booms, spreaders, plus wood blocks were refinished
from bare wood with System Three epoxy and epoxy paint. The masts are
now tan with white tips and will have much less maintenance than the
previous varnish over epoxy. Virtually all of the bronze and
stainless-steel fastenings on the masts/booms was replaced with new. A
visual inspection of the rigging did not show anything obvious, so it
was all reused. New white oak cockpit cap trim pieces were also
laminated up, epoxied and clear finished. The cabin top teak hand rails
were also epoxied and clear finished with System Three products. All
of the bronze deck hardware on the boat was also stripped and buffed out
prior to rebedding with new bronze fasteners. The teak toe rails were
sanded and rebedded on the new deck. The forward hatch was taken apart,
cleaned, rebuilt and screens made for it and the cockpit entrance. The
winches were cleaned, lubed, and pawls-springs replaced. The areas
under cockpit cover including cockpit seats and entrance deck were also
sanded and revarnished. The entire interior was also
refinished/revarnished as needed and all the wall hooks for sail stops
etc. replaced with stainless steel ones. A new electronic depth
indicator was installed in the cabin wall so it could be easily seen
from the cockpit and joins the existing bulkhead compass.
