Got some parts ordered and some little projects done. Trailer winch was a rusty mess and we had an almost 70 degree day here so I did the home remedy rust remover of baking soda and vinegar, a good rinse of the winch parts which I took apart and a can of rust converting spray paint and I have a new winch! I'm gonna hit the hardware store tomorrow and get some new nylock nuts to replace the rustyby Chef - sailmfg
Hello Mike, Its been chilly here but only below freezing a day or two. You never know what kind of winter weather North Alabama will bring. It may be in the single digits or like a few years ago I was on the Tennessee River in shorts and short sleeves during the Christmas holidays driving my cruiser. Right now its typical rainy and chilly.Thankful for the rain! We went for almost 3 months withoutby Chef - sailmfg
Hi MIke! Thanks for the post. The gudgeons I ordered from Duckworks are the RL-490's. They looked suitably beefy for my needs. I'm glad to hear you say they don't need much fitting. I've almost finished sanding and sealiing the rudder blocks to reinstall. Thanks for the tip on the fender washers, I probably would have just reinstalled with the stock washers. I sent the 390's back and now waitingby Chef - sailmfg

Thanks for the welcome Paul! I appreciate the offer on the cushions but I scored a full set of cushions last weekend at a great price. I am curious if you did any refit work on your 19? I need to remove and refinish the rudder blocks. The lower gudgeon is damaged and was replaced with a makeshift fix. I was considering installing an inspection hatch closer to the middle of the rear cabin wall toby Chef - sailmfg
I've just bought an MFG 19 (1979) and I'm looking forward to refitting and sailing it. My friends at Joe Wheeler marina on Wheeler Lake, Alabama, own a very nice S2 which I'm privvy to hitch with when I can so I'm no stranger to wind power, but I'm still a novice owner. I've been a diehard powerboater most all my life but its time to settle down a bit. I've learned a bit here in the background anby Chef - sailmfg
