Strange Bird Restoration
It’s been a goal to get the Snipe Strange Bird out sailing before the end of the year and it looks like this might happen on Labor Day weekend. Since I picked it up in December a lot has been done to it to get it back into sailing shape:
- patched holes in the hull
- strengthened, reinforced and repaired damaged rails
- fixed dings in the hull and smoothed it out
- built a trailer
- reinforced the deck under the seating
- patched the centerboard trunk
- cleaned and oiled the splash board and rub rails
- re-ran halyards in the mast
- replaced all running rigging
