the Stuart area, a couple hours south of Titusville. Have 2 A-30's that
I'm working on. If you are in the area (or plan to be) shoot me an e-mail

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope to be back in Florida in November to
work on Tait Tait for a few weeks.The first project will be to get rid of
the small diesel tank under the cockpit sole and put an 18gallon tank
on the ledge in the starboard locker.Once that is done I want to
improve the cockpit drainage by adding extra drains. I also want to increase
the size of the existing drains at the forward end of the cockpit and
reposition their thru hulls and valves to a more accessible position. I had
in mind to take them out of the engine compartment and re-site them at
the forward end of the port and starboard lockers just above the
waterline.If anybody has done anything like this I would be interested to
know how it worked out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I followed the correspondence on mast wiring
noises and got some good ideas that I can incorporate when I renew the
standing rigging,(see below, should the standing rigging be beefed up),
thanks to all those who contributed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am in a gradual process of preparing Tait
Tait for some serious blue water cruising. I have my own ideas about what
needs to be changed or strengthened,cockpit drainage is one of them,but any
and all opinions would be welcome.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are there any A30 enthusiasts on the East coast
of Florida in the Titusville area?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Last but not least. I read the article by
Dave Cooper "Cookin" #464 in the August edition of the Mainsheet
and he had made it to Bermuda.I met up with Dave and Renee in Georgetown
Bahamas during Regatta week this year and they were considering a trip to
the U.K. If they are coming here they might like to see a friendly face,so
if anyone is in contact with them and can relay please e-mail me outside
this forum.</FONT></DIV>
