http://westsailingbum.blogspot.com/2015/02/nearly-there.html
The continuing adventures of two wanabe sailing bums, on our beautiful Westsail 32 yacht, Kabuki. Monday, February 23, 2015. We have also been doing some rigging changes and renewals. We have taken our furling staysail off, replaced the wire stay and we are getting a hanked on sail made. We have also re-placed the Head-stay inside the Yankee furler. For my non-sailing followers these two sails are the ones at the front of the boat. Paul removing the masking tape after the antifoul was appled. Whangarei, ...

http://westsailingbum.blogspot.com/2015/01/osmosis-job.html
The continuing adventures of two wanabe sailing bums, on our beautiful Westsail 32 yacht, Kabuki. Tuesday, January 27, 2015. Laying the new fibreglass mat, and rolling to remove air bubbles. Paul was the side-kick for the guys. After the glass was applied a layer of resin with filler was slathered on, like a badly iced cake really. Once the icing was dried/cured the process of sanding it all to smoothness began. Paul re-instating the skin fittings on the faired and primed patches around the holes. View m...

Westsailing Bum: Marina Life
http://westsailingbum.blogspot.com/2015/04/marina-life.html
The continuing adventures of two wanabe sailing bums, on our beautiful Westsail 32 yacht, Kabuki. Wednesday, April 8, 2015. As to life on the Marina, it is nice. We have slowed down after the hustle of the last few months and are enjoying things. Paul is back at work though, and by the looks will be for the next 9 months at least. I am a lady of leisure for now, but not able to drive so the walking will do me good. Kabuki looking spruce in her new berth. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Westsailing Bum: Painting the Decks.
http://westsailingbum.blogspot.com/2015/01/painting-decks.html
The continuing adventures of two wanabe sailing bums, on our beautiful Westsail 32 yacht, Kabuki. Monday, January 19, 2015. After a period of a few months we managed to get the the decks painted with new non-skid. Paul and I completed the side decks without too many worries. The only hiccup we have had is the rust stains that now grace the new paint, courtesy of the boat yard drop cloths that have been draped around Kabuki for the Osmosis job. Paul masking up for the non-skid, honest I did some too.
