A few tips for installing silicon bronze Frearson head wood screws. We use a Fuller combination pilot drill and countersink. For this install we drilled a marker hole then swiveled the eyestrap out of the way to get a little deeper. It is important to drill at least a pilot, as without it there is a good chance to strip out the soft bronze.

We must apologize for the crusty appearance of ST. JACQUES, she still has Florida scum on her and PODS grime. We remedied that situation with a freshwater rinse and some TILEX. Skipper mostly played with the water vs doing actual work. Once it cools off ST. JACQUES is due for some hurricane repairs (cosmetic) and a recoat. We're in discussion with George Kirby and his fabulous paint company to create a fancy paint color for the interior, something with a little more cream than the current Oyster White. Maybe it will hide scum and grime better :)
Discussions with George go something like this...
Us: "Hey George, can you make us some fancy paint?"
George: "Sure."
Us: "Okay, we'll send you some info."
