Yesterday, day 23, we finished painting the boat!! Today – we will finish the boat! We will start off the day by cleaning and putting the hardware on the boat, then my good friend, Mr. Sabatier, will come over and show/teach us how to rig the boat.
The first thing we did was lay the hardware out to make sure we had everything (took inventory). After that, we started to clean them. My dad has a machine that cleans stuff like this called an ultrasonic cleaner which worked great.
To keep water from getting in through the holes on the outer walls, we used some glue as a sealant.
While the hardware was being cleaned, my dad and I upgraded a few things…a new winch and a trailer wheel.
When we were done with this, everything was clean. We dried them off and started to put them on; first putting the sealant inside, then attaching hardware.
After the hardware was on, we took the tape off the sides.
While we were doing all of this, the registration stickers came in and we put those on as well.
After we took the tape off the sides and put the registration stickers on, the boat was looking spectacular! The paint couldn’t have looked better!
We took the boat outside and unfolded the sails. When Mr. Sabatier got here, we put the mast up and started rigging.
He taught me three knots: the bowline, the stopper, and the cleat hitch.
I could hardly believe it, but the boat was finally finished! This was definitely the hardest job I have ever done and I can’t wait to go sailing!
Thank you for all the help, Mr. Sabatier and also, the Sweet Sixteen Facebook group. And many thanks to my mom and dad for the encouragement. And, of course, none of this would be possible without gracious Mr. Joe Castleman!
