Rebuilt steering pedestal



As part of the refit we tore apart the steering pedestal and were unable to sail for about 3 months as we had no wheel! Mark and Jack ripped out the steering cable, the conduit thru which it travels and replaced it all. Then since we had dry rot in the cockpit sole we dug out all the rotten wood and poured about a half gallon of epoxy into the void.

Once that was done Mark painted and reassembled the pedestal which now looks shiny and new.
