Tinting the windows and adding some bling
I have been trying to decide whether or not to tint the windows on the Mirage for a while now. This week I decided to go for it. It will add privacy for when we stay down and keep the cabin cooler. Turns out it looks really cool too. I also added a few label stickers to alleviate confusion when we are out sailing.
Genoa Sleeve by Sailrite
Another great project from Sailrite. This is one of the more complicated projects I've done. There is a little cutting, long sewing runs, and a bunch of hardware. Sailrite has moved to a paperless model so study up on the You Tube video first. Sailrite service is super. On this project we had a miscommunication about the color of the fabric and Sailrite's service stepped right up and fixed it. Measuring is the first step. There are two ways the fabric can be laid out depending on the diameter of the rolled furler. After the measuring it is time to get out the hot knife and cut. Sew Sew some more. Bam UV protection for your fore sail without a bulky cover on the edge of your sails. Video Montage 1 Installed video.
Memorial Day Outing
It was cold but totally worth it and it was good to be out on the lake again for the first time this year.
