Holding Tank - Decision process for a new holding tank plus the installation of a 22 Gallon polymer tank  (February 2012).

Electronics - GPS Chart plotter, TV, Stereo, AIS-VHF (Done) (2012)


Polyglow and Kiwigrip - Polyglow really worked great on the Alradee-Chi, Kiwigrip is one of the best non-skid paints.  In June 2013 I started applying the Kiwigrip Nonskid.


Bow Sprit and Anchor Roller - Done in May of 2013.


New Cabin Cushions - The Cushions are fun to do, but very time consuming.  I decided to have Linthicum Sails make them in Spring of 2012.


Refinished Cabin Sole and new Bilge Covers - Last but not least, the floor will be refinished. I've started making the bilge covers.


Cabin Walls - Remove the moldy carpeting, paint with Zinsser, then cover with Western Red Cedar (done 2012), stained and redecorated May 2013.n


Traveler Update - The stock traveler did not have windward sheeting setup.  This simple update cost about $120 in parts and another $25 in line.  However, decided to go with a Lewmar Size 1 Traveler system.
