LO300...Reviewing the Rules...Conclusion.....

• Santeria's Toilet needs to be permanently fixed:
• New Hatch boards.....Done! Will use a double/double bungee cord to secure hatches
• The only through-hull opening is the speed meter. Will make tapered wood plugs
• Determine if its easier to attach the heel of the mast to the deck step or install mast step jockstraps
• Check the "tautness" of lifelines
• Nothing to do here...however the back 3 Port and Starboard toe rail bolts have slow leaks. Time to replace/repair.
• Stove ready and good to go, fully gimbaled for operation in a seaway. Still need to install.
• Do I really need permanent delivery pump and tank? Investigate further
• Hand Holds....Now added to the to-do list. Beginning construction this winter
• Manual Bilge Pump already installed but does not comply with the requirement to be operable with all hatches and companionways shut. Must think about relocating it from inside to outside
• 2 buckets of stout construction with Lanyards...Added to the required equipment list
• Will be purchasing Pull/Push pit backup battery powered LED navigation lights from Chandlery
• For Santeria, a motor that will do at least 4.4 knots...Use existing motor. Detach it during long distance races below deck
• Gas Tank already bungeed in place
• Comment regarding generator....Current motor has alternator, generator not required
• Current VHF radio is compliant
• Santeria's regular antenna depends on the mast, emergency VHF antenna will be bracketed on the pushpit...Will have to check if it has channel 72
• Have handheld GPS that is battery and 12V powered
• Must add passive reflector

• Again....Will make soft wood plugs
• JackStay port and starboard system will be installed this spring
• Additional individual clipping points at mast, cockpit and bow
• Santeria has one Fire Extinguisher, will add another
• Currently no Anchor system with Santeria. Early spring item.
• Foghorn to be added
• Again, Passive Reflector to be added
• Ask Peter where he picked up his Navigation charts. To be purchased. I have chart plotting equipment for manual plotting
• Create a safety equipment chart
• Lead line - Fabrication starting soon
• Will create a spare rudder and tiller handle
• Locate a pair of Wire Cutters...talk to the old man
• Add Yacht name to miscellaneous buoyant equipment, and floatation devices.
• Life Raft????
