Pintle and Gudgeon before cleanup
...and after clean up
Just about finished resurfacing the transom almost ready for primer.

I hope you had an extra "transom" to look thru out in the middle of the street while you refinished that one. 😉
What are you working on?
A 1966 British built twin (bilge) keel Alacrity 19 sailboat.

By the way I'm looking for suggestions for a name for her that will tie Surveying and Sailing together.

I guess "Jenny" is out of the question!
Magellan?
Miss Meridian
Polaris
Geoid Jenny

BOAT = Break Out Another Thousand.
Looks like a bi-pod to me.

Bi-pod, I like it. That is going on the list of possibilities.

Or perhaps Surveying Or Sailing

I thought about Polaris but since there is a 4 wheeler named that I'm less enthused by it than I thought at first.
I like Geoid Jenny

Hey Randy,
I named my previous boat (28' Sabre) MEANDER..... and the tender was Traverse....
Good luck on the boat. Do you have a launch date set in your mind yet?
One obvious possibility.

I'm realistically looking at December or January. I'm trying to have it done before my 50th Birthday which is Jan 24. This is a major labor of love the entire interior has been gutted all of the bulkheads, lockers and berths have been ripped out and have to be completely replaced. Fortunately I worked at Hunter Marine in the early eighties as a finish patcher and laminator, so none of the work is foreign to me. all of the sails are shot so I'll be sewing my own from precut sail kits about $300 each for Main, Jib and Genoa. I also need an Iron Jib and am hoping to find a British Seagull Century in the $4-500 range. I'm still having an internal debate about whether or not to repaint her with Gel-Coat (lots and lots of post application sanding) for a factory finish, or a two part Urethane. Any suggestions or recommendations are certainly appreciated.

P.S. I like Meander definately a finalist.
How about The "T Double D" that way, she won't take on any water;-)

Randy's Reign? (not survey-related though)
Meridian Traverse?
Zero Feet Above Sea Level?
(Okay, not that great....still thinking)
