Progress has been steady over the last few months as I have been able to spend a few days most every week in Port Townsend. Matt Pistay has been working on the running rigging. Matt has been very successful racing various sailboats for a number of years. Recently he has been on winning crews in the Race to Alaska and the Transpac.

| Anika (ankorpdx.com) did a very nice job on the cushions. She is currently completing a cover for the pop top. |

| Installation of a propane tank for the galley stove is complete, including a "sniffer" that closes a valve at the tank when propane fumes are detected. A carbon monoxide detector has also been installed. The starboard side fuel locker is done with a mount for the outboard motor fuel tank. Both the propane locker and the fuel locker vent overboard through the transom. |

| The keel lifting crane is being fitted. The worm drive winch lifts the keel and lead bulb with a strap that goes through a lug at the top of the keel. The crane legs shown here will be about 8 inches shorter in the final configuration. |
