We haven’t taken very many things apart lately, and certainly not whinge covers. What you may ask is a whinge cover? Not sure, since the term came up one morning at breakfast as a mishearing of winch. Before Gypsy was painted, she had red canvas. We had someone local make the winch covers, as a an update to her look, it is time to make new ones. These are more complicated than the Sailrite winch covers, so Nina took them apart to see how they were made. She got as far as making paper patterns and then ran into the what color should they be question. We had a piece of yellow Sunbrella. Totally wrong yellow for the new paint. Navy works, but there isn’t enough to do more than one or two (out of five) and we’re not quite sure which blue it really is, because it was leftover fabric from a friend.

Meanwhile, work continued on the galley. Bill worked on templates while Nina added bondo fillets to the settee upright bulkheads.







First thing up next weekend, tabbing in those settee uprights. The fiberglass is cut and ready to go. Not enough time in the weekend. Whinging.
