| From the jib winch mount. Nearly 60 years old and as good as new. |
I have decided to go with M8 stainless steel machine-screw inserts into the mast for remounting the winch. This will spread the load of each fastener over a larger area, and allows for the bolts to be removed without chewing out the wood. I will also epoxy saturate the wood in the bores to further strengthen everything up. The aim is to make it good for another 58 years.
In other news, I think I have finally nailed the last (significant) deck leak! As expected, it was getting in from a tiny, inconspicuous little spot and then tracking under the teak decking and coming out about a meter away.
