Inboard Genoa Track
This has proven invaluable for both racing and cruising with the furling genoa.

New Electrical Panel
This is the new electrical panel. The original had 6 fuses and was mounted behind the icebox.
This made no sense at all, since you could not even find it in the dark. This panel is mounted to port
of the companionway facing forward. The panel is backlit, so you can see the labels in the dark and has LEDs to indicate active circuits. It is mounted on white Star-Board. Next project is back-lighting the meters or getting another type, at which point the red gooseneck light can be eliminated.

Fancy Work on wheel
A good friend did this fancywork on my wheel. I really love the look and feel of it. It sure beats cold metal on
a chilly morning.

Bow Roller for Anchor
Note that the starboard bow chock had to be relocated. To install the bow roller
two of the three bolts will have to be tapped into the stem fitting since there will
be no room for a nut to go on from underneath.  The foreguy block will be moved
and other than that the lead is fair to the bow cleat. This is a HUGE improvement
over hauling the anchor up with the rode in the bow chock.

AIS
I recently installed an AIS receiver from Milltech. To read an explanation of what AIS is,
click here (http://www.uscg.mil/vtm/briefs/aisnavsac/index.htm). The short version is that large ships,
some tugs, and some recreational boats transmit their position over VHF frequencies. With an AIS
receiver and a plotter of some kind you can see these ships. You can see their name, speed, heading,
rate of turn, length, draft, callsign, and MMSI among other things. The two photos below show the
car carrier Alliance New York as an AIS target (in purple) and the cockpit view. While this was short
range, I have no trouble seeing ships 10 to 15 miles away. All in all, an excellent value for under $200!
Notice the projected course line from the ship and my own projected course do not meet!
