Enclosed Flying Bridge Frame and
Canvas |
|
We need to
replace the existing wood and plexiglas frame that was built for the
trip up the coast. Any help with that would be appreciated.

Bunk Rails |
|
These are needed for sleeping on the trip up. There were two rails left,
one with the canvass center, rotten, but installed. |

Another one was
provided by George Burton, former USCG ETC |

Solved, Frames Made |
|
Eight additional frames were
manufactured and donated by Wink
Weber (83484) at: |

Emergency & Rescue Vehicles

If you live in the Puget
Sound Area and have some time to help, these 8 frames need primered and
painted. I can arrange to get them to wherever they need to go. Soon the
canvass centers will be sewn and the brass eyelets will need inserted. |

Transmission |
|
I know its odd, but the two
transmissions have different gear ratios. That will require us to run
the two engines at different speeds. Someday we hope to get them match
up. |

|
Compass |
|
We can get any old compass
for navigation, but we are looking for two "period representative"
compass. One for the flying bridge and one for the enclosed bridge. The
original boats had two 7" compasses. |

Fuel |
|
The trip up the coast was
about 1070 miles at 1 gal/mile. At $2.00/gal, well you see the necessity.
The "83 Footer Sailors" agreed to promote a program to raise
pledges for the fuel money. they successfully raised $1250 for
the fund. Two additional donors closed the gap at $500 and
$300 each.
As you can see we have filled the
tank on the HOME page. |

Fire Extinguishers |
|
If anyone has a
Puget Sound
connection for signing off the CO2 extinguishers that would
be a great cost savings. |
|
|
Control Cables |
|
Panish Controls
has agreed to build two cables for the throttle and shift control head
in the enclosed bridge. This will allow us to be out of the weather
during any of our travels. They provided the control systems for
the 83 footers. Their website has a bit of that history. Rob Panish is
the current owner and grandson of the founders. |

Alternator & Bracket |
|
There aren't any 12v belt
driven alternators on board to charge the starter and house batteries.
We need to build or find some brackets similar to those shown in the
attached photos. Then a pair of 12v internally regulated "one wire"
alternators can be added. |

Mapping Software |
|
A request to
Maptech was answered with a
copy of their Marine Navigator package, including the San
Francisco to Cape Flattery Charts and Contour 3-D Charts.
Many thanks to them for this contribution. |
