Equipment 2002 Re-commissioning
(and upgrades since)
S/V Bay Retriever was re-launched in 2002, following a period of at least 5
years on land. Despite a previous blister problem, her extended layup
allowed sufficient time for the hull to dry out. After the blisters were
ground down, the hull was coated with 5 coats of Interlux Interprotect.
Everything not permanently tabbed to the hull was removed from the interior,
including carpeting, hull liner, cabinets, ports (opening and fixed), electrical
wiring, plumbing, gas lines, cushions, even the engine and through-hulls.
As the interior was rebuilt, almost everything was replaced w/ new, custom-made
and fitted parts. The engine received a top-end rebuild. The wiring
and plumbing were redone to ABYC standards. The new cabinetry is a work of
art.
The mast was re-rigged with 316-grade 1/4" stainless wire rope with StaLok
fittings, new Sta-Set X and Sta-Set halyards, topping lifts, sheets, etc, a new
Harken furling unit, and new electrical and antenna wiring. With her
fresh, brand new antenna, wire, and RayMarine VHF, she routinely receives Coast
Guard signals from Norfolk and New Jersey, and occassionally Charleston, not to
mention all the damn powerboat traffic from Rock Hall, Annapolis, and other
nearby areas at the edge of standard VHF range.
During the winter of '06, she received a new rudder from Foss Foam, her
compression post was thoroughly inspected and rebedded, her main was replaced, and a bunch of other small projects were completed.
Interested in purchasing Bay Retriever? She's a great boat, but
as the list of major rebuild items and projects nears completion, it may be time
to move on to another boat. She could be sold to the right buyer for the
right place; contact me for details.
