Got some trailer work done to fit Cyane to her new trailer. New rollers, axle, springs, hubs and tires. Eddie English does great work for us!
Boat was moved aft just a bit to set a good tongue weight. I couldn't lift it before and now I can, so I'm guessing it is around 80 pounds.
Eddie's crew replaced all of the rollers with HDPE non marking rollers. The new brackets are galvanized and fastened with stainless hardware, shiny!
New 1500 pound axle, new springs sized for the trailer/boat combo. This roller is set to support the centerboard and keep it in the case.
8 foot carpeted bunks and LED lights. Skipper says leave Onkahye's name on there, Cyane kind of like it.
Eddie has sold us 2 trailers, repaired 4, and built us 2. Plus helped us upgrade several more with trailer guides. We always enjoy visiting his business and seeing the wizardry in progress. If you need a trailer, give him a call and tell him Small Boat Restoration sent you.
A few of the mast fittings. Cheek block for the topping lift.
Spinnaker halyard, roller furling and jib halyard block for regular jib.
Spinnaker pole line block.
Preparations to raise the mast.
After the mast went up we installed the new bow eye. Upgraded to U bolt style, located spot for second 3/8 inch hole. We bedded the new eye in TotalBoat thickened epoxy to fill in the chipped area.
Opened inspection port to bow compartment and removed a few foam blocks. Bow eye bolts coming through the stem backer strip, it's wooden for some reason.
Tightened down the nuts.
Foam blocks returned to the bow compartment and inspection port closed up.
Faired the bow eye plate with some TotalBoat THIXO.
Mast up, 8x10 cockpit cover installed.
Log of Cyane.
