Nice blog site, Dave. I don't think I could afford a website for Touche's refurbishment and upgrades. :)
It's still a work in progress after 17 years. Just in the last few weeks: Noland AM43 multiplexer to finally get the Nexus instruments and the Simrad WP30 wheelpilot talking, lifeline gate on starboard side (because our "temporary" slip in Pensacola has starboard side finger pier), spinnaker halyard parking bracket and cam cleat (Why? Because I wanted one). These after the refrigeration and dedicated start battery install. The bullet list of all the upgrades is 6 pages long. And the list goes on and on...... Dennis C.
