Currently White Pepper is in the Seabrook Shipyard. She has been there since early October and work is very slow. So far, the new stainless steel water tanks have been installed under the settees. The freezer/refrigerator has been built but not installed. This has been custom work and complicated as well as expensive. It will go in where the ice box was. There has been work done on the mast. The rigging will be completely cold headed ie the foot plates will all be cold headed, new sheaves installed, a new antenna and wind arrow installed. Stix and Riggin' is replacing the tack horn on the boom and the goose neck. The pulley assembly on the deck for the centerboard cable is being replaced. This was the piece of equipment that ruined Jan's back because it was so corroded.
Hopefully, everything will be pulled together by mid-February.
