  1. I've been working on the Fisher 34 since the Colin Archer went into storage. The cockpit area on the Fisher has a lot of curves and has taken time to get right. It's now been brush-painted with one coat of gloss -on top of all the other coats of 'stuff'. Started yesterday on the wheelhouse aft bulkhead and sliding door arrangement and produced what I think is a 'sliding door kit' which will be stained 'teak' and added when the bulkhead is prepared and painted white.

      Hi Andreas, did not see your post until this morning. The brass tubes are guides for the sheets to the clew of the genoa sail. They were planned and installed very early  during the build process and are a bit too long but I could not see that until the cockpit combing was shaped and glued on. The tubes bend and curve all the way down to the turnpulleys in the bilge so hope there is not too much friction. Posting photo of one tube. Also photo showing sheet exiting from guide tube to pulleys on genoa track. Don't know if this system will even work properly ! 🥴 20200824_160130.thumb.jpg.11028e0e2ab969b84424e86c360d1a27.jpg20200825_114329.thumb.jpg.4e0acfbfe748442e7703d01125f37d58.jpg
