Added whipped-ends (to prevent fraying) to the halyard lines!
I might get bored this winter and learn how to splice, but for now a halyard hitch knot is fine.

Went ahead and replaced the winch solenoid and ordered a real wireless kit rather than building my own.
Mostly because I don't have that much free time.

This battery is super-dead.
Battery charger/tester doesn't even register it's connected.
Mr. Angle-Grinder got it loose tho

Double checked everything and the winch works! It screams a little but it's only for stepping the mast up and down.
Apparently BlueSky doesn't do video yet and I dunno how to convert to gif on my phone...

Zipties and flush cutters, who could ask for better?
The mounting fins on the solenoid are just ever so slightly too long.
But we can fix that with bolt cutters!
Which I own for completely legitimate reasons. What are you, a cop?
Perfect fit!

The obvious solution is to just use a single, larger cable gland.
Might buy another box and try that later

Of course, the holes in this winch power cable are too small.
I'll drill them out if this works.

Hoping to get the boat at least dunked into water this weekend.
It'll be at an artificial lake that's a bit cramped for actual sailing, but i want to at least get her rigged and see how she floats balance-wise.
(Still waiting on registration stuff)

Ah fuck.
Found a soft spot on the boat deck, right next to the mast-foot. -_-
That means at some point I will be cutting a huge section of the deck off to replace the plywood core and playing with a lot of epoxy and fiberglass

Time to build a junction box for the winch controller!
Which is fun because i want it to fit between the fins of this beam
3D print is probably the perfect solution, but I still haven't learned how to make things

I really hope I don't have to replace this thing as well. It's rusted to hell and I'm not sure how to do corrosion control on steel cable.

Shoes need a good home. Especially on the dock. Introducing the ultimate shoe box. It's like a condo building for your shoes. Best of all, like all @StowawaySteps products, it disassembles and stows neatly in a bag!

I probably won't attempt to step the mast up today.
USPS lost the package with the proper mast pin, I'm home alone, and it's roughly 4000° outside today.
