We don't sit still in the winter, especially Toine. The list of jobs gets longer in the course of the winter and Toine spends a lot of hours on it in the weekends. With this time especially eye for the highly necessary maintenance jobs and for the eye beautiful results. 

Like:

• polishing white polyester parts and also the blue band. That was very necessary and it looks nice shiny again
• hole in Eline's room in the front (accidentally drilled when installing the central heating) closed so that no more rays of light come through from the bathroom.
• mirror on the closet door in the girls' bathroom
• new mirror in our bathroom (old one had a rusted edge)
• steering wheel cross stitching re-sewn (Mira)
• replaced the outhaul's block (had a large tear in it)
• gasbun gets a new switch and also a bypass in case the security connector on it would break.
• fixing bracket fixed on the boom with a plate on the inside of the boom
• Replace oil and filter of hydraulic lowering device and backstay tensioner
• the central heating radiator in the girls' bathroom is now really leakproof with horsehair
• replace buttons of the anchor winch with new buttons that will not rust
• fan in the back of our bathroom so that we can ventilate in cold days or rain without having to open the window.
• painting cockpit platforms next to the entrance (is a lot of work and a huge improvement), see Card tables tub like new again
• replaced the 7 air hoses with the new system that Rassy has been using on the new boats for a couple of years, see New ventilation grilles
