Wind Instrument Fixed & Sailing Dinghy

This weekend our local rigger Kim replaced the circuit board in our B&G mast head wind instrument.   This was the one thing that didn't work on the boat when we bought it. It now works great and accurately displays both the wind direction and speed. While up the mast, Kim also installed two foldaway mast steps about four feet from the top. These steps will allow someone to gain better access to the top of the mast.

We got a used sailing dinghy this weekend. It's a 7-1/2' long fiberglass sailing/rowing dinghy called Moby Dink from Hess Marine, in Long Beach, CA. This dinghy looks very similar to the popular Fatty Knees dinghy which was designed by Lyle Hess. Although I couldn't find any references to Moby Dink on the Internet, I suspect that it may be related to or a knock off of the Fatty Knees. Anyway, it's a blast to sail and has a robust traditional look like Juliet.
