Sail Haven Boat Maintenance and Repair Session 3

Sail Haven Boat Maintenance and Repair Session 2

Saturday, February 28th, 9am-12pm.

We are working on repairs and maintenance to get our fleet ready for the 2026 season. We have two, new to us, Flying Scots. They need all sorts of repairs and modifications to make them Community boating ready.

Proposed tasks:

• Finish Ladder installation on Flying Scot "Aurelian".
• Burrs where filed off flying Scot lifting bars. They are now ready for painting.
• Last season two Shallow Water Mark were delivered broken. The company replaced them, but did not want the broken ones returned. A plan and parts list to repair them was made. They are over $300 apiece, so this effort is quite a savings to Sail Haven. We have a plan to rebuild them, and the parts...
• Main Sheet fittings were removed from the Centerboard trunk caps. We can now replace them with/out the cleats and with ratchet blocks. Four out of five Flying Scots are complete. Need to finish the last Scot.
• Cut vertical piece from a laser mast to replace rotting mast support on Flying Scot Trailer. Need to finish project.
