Busy day on the water. Racing starts this week!! 

Last coat of Cetol Natural Teak on the toe rails. Looks good. Applies nicely and no sanding. 

Was struggling getting waypoints from Navionics app to Raymarine Axiom +. Finally figured out, no instructions, that the app puts the wapoints on the Navionics chip and then YOU migrate/import from chip to plotter. Very cryptic.

Called friends Chris and Frank to help with removing the Furler and installing the tuff luff. Remove all cotter ins from standing rigging, slacken all standing rigging, tie off Spinnaker and jib halyards as temporary head stay, remove screws holding drum to bow stem, sludevup drum to access turnbuckle, loosen turnbuckle, remove cotter pin and clevis pin from stem, slide off furler one piece at a time. 

Slide on top spacer for tuff luff, then tuff luff, then bottom spacer, and attach prefeeder. Voila!
