- Fix the split rudder
- Sand and varnish the tiller handle
- Fix the bow, looks like someone bumped into the dock a little too hard. Epoxy and cloth here i come!
- Knot meter is broken. Time to replace it!
- No wind instrumentation. Got to have it!
- Sheet and halyards need replacing. Hello Chandlery, do you have frequent buyer discounts!
- Electrical need serious improvement. Would like to add USB port for charging cell phones plus instrument panels for additional electrical components
- Improve navigation electrical system. Start thinking LED's for better (less) power usage. Will be attending overnight races in 2012
- Existing sail inventory seem fair, Kevlar main and genoa. Dacron #2 and #3 jib, #2 main.
- Bilge pump stopped working Sep 2010, time to look for replacement.
- Boat is rigged for fully crewed racing. Time to start thinking about hardware placement and usage for Double handed.
This blog details the life of the boat know as "Santeria". Santeria is an Able Poitin 24, or Evelyn 24, Built by Able Shipwrights in 1975, sold to market in 1976.
This boat was purchased in July 2010 as a step up from my existing sailboat, a Sirus 21. Coming from a Laser 2 background, I was looking for something more lively and a few feet longer.
