The centerboard uphaul cleat on CYANE was loose and too small. We replaced it with a cam cleat. Drilled a small pilot hole and installed with marine grade stainless screws.
While we had the tools out we replaced a worn cleat that is used for the roller furling line.
We changed the main sail from the small Petrel main back to the Day Sailer main, then rigged the boat so we could take some photos for an article in Small Boats Monthly.

Skipper snapped some photos. We love how the Day Sailer can glide right up onto the beach.

Our boat was converted over to roller furling. We left the jib halyard block and also added a halyard for a spinnaker.
