She’s not been getting the live she deserves. That said, I’m “borrowing” a sail rite sewing machine next week or two. I have new to me jib, furler conversion kit and old sail ready to go. New cars for main. Finally have 100% functional bilge pump. Still fighting with motor. That last one has me very angry. About to just sell the merc 9.9 and get a brand new tohatsu 9.8 sail drive with remote shift/throttle. Need to finish the bathroom remodels and outdoor shower stuff for Mrs before that one shows up though.

Re: Jaysen's Helms 24
Good to see you're back working on the Helms, that you've now got a reliable bilge pump, and that soon you'll have repaired sails. Keep at it.

The machine is going to be here Tuesday. Hopefully we will get the luff sewn and sails in the boat that weekend! The universe and I have a hate/hate relationship so I expect my plan to be undermined. But I’m still excited to be sewing the week.

Re: Jaysen's Helms 24
Thank you sir! My in laws disagree with you. Luckily my wife calls them names regularly and agrees with you. I’ll take that as the definitive answer.

Re: Jaysen's Helms 24
Thanks Jeff. My birthday celebration involves ripping out the main bathroom and remembering why I have a career in IT and not construction. I’m hoping to find a few minutes to pass out under the dining room table but I assume the dog will give me away. On the plus side, there is a new bottle of something with a bow on it spotted this morning. Sure looks like rum!
Re: Jaysen's Helms 24
Sounds like a lot of work for your birthday but the bottle of rum sounds promising!!!! Enjoy your birthday!!! Jeff
Re: Jaysen's Helms 24
