  W00 W00
    Feb 21, 2001; the remainder of the principal on the vessel loan was
    paid today. I now own scirocco outright!
  Manuals
    Photocopied old rotting manuals, put in new binders. all on board.
  Spinnaker
    Opened it up, it's an asymetrical cruising spinny. needs a sock
    though.
  Documented!
   After eight months of nagging the USCG documentation papers
   finally came through.
  Fixed 'car radio'
    Re-wired it up. GG, the wiring in this boat is bad, probably
    should all be re-done.
  Fix all transmission leaks
    tore apart valve body on top of trans and replaced leaking
    O-rings and resealed with gasket goop. Replaced output shaft
    seal. Seems to hold oil better than it's previous spagetti-strainer
    behavior.
  Fix broken autopilot.
    Water intrusion corroded out some diodes, re-soldered. Also replaced
    large voltage regulator transistor which burnt out. Still needs work
    or operator training, as it overheated and stopped steering untill
    cooled down on a recent passage.
  Rip out pilot berth shelves
    The best sea-berth on the boat had shelves and a TV screwed into it.
    A screwdriver and a hammer made short work of the shelves.
  Fix ripped Jib
    Second time! a small rip probably from the first incident ripped
    the jib as soon as we got it back from the sailmaker. Thats fixed
    and hopefully there will be no more sail drama.

Howto!
  Fixing a parted leachline. On our 150% jib the leach line had parted at
the head of the sail and through previous owner(s) had been pulled nearly
midway down the sail. Trial and error found the ideal way to put a leach
line through its pocket with the minimum resewn stitches. The way I did it
was by cutting out 2-3 stitches at the highest point that the leach line
was and retrieved the leach line from there. I then straightened out a
coat hangar and put a loop to one end which the end of the leach line was
tied to. The hangar was inserted where the leach line was extracted. The
leach line pocket was scrunched up onto the front of the coat hangar
untill as much was scrunched on as possible, then was unscrunched at the
back of the coat hangar to move the coathangar up the sail. The process
was repeated untill the hangar and attached line hat reached the head of
the sail; The stiches are the head were broken to pull the hanger and
remaining leach line through the sail. Stitches are only broken at two
points... One point if the line is started at the foot of the sail.
