I noticed that Paul posted a list of things he needed to do and I thought it appropriate to creat this new section .

On Embers Watch
I would like to add jiffy reefing and lazy jacks.
Install "new" 1980 Montgomery Ward 3.5hp outboard from Ebay.
Replace my VHF handheld that got filled with Texas sea water!
Install some kind of small object "holders" at 4 corners of cockpit.
Install a winch on the trailer.

I will add more as time goes on...

Un Abrazo,
Bill

Bill: I had lazyjacks on our Caprice for the first time last year and they worked great. I can't believe I waited so long to rig them. Wait now I remember, I tried to rig them once and they did not work right but finally I got it right. I need to take some pictures as it is not simple to do with a balanced lug - but it works like a dream. Striking one of those big lugs with them is like a Chinese fire drill.

Chuck,
Pics would be great. I will just be winging it on the web info I have found, but an example that works would be superb! May be even an article? BUt I don't want to wait that long....

Bill

I got the lazy jacks installed. I will post a link to a short video of how they work for me. Only time on the water will tell if they are right.

Also got the 1981 outboard up and running. Link for that too. My to dos are not all done, but Embers Watch is as sea worthy as she has ever been I think, so OBX130 here we come!
