19 December I can see clearly now

It's time. I can't put it off with excuses any longer. The clears, roll up panels in the cockpit surround, have deteriorated and I can't see through them anymore. They need replacing.

Earlier in the summer I bought the clear vinyl from the sailmaker in Woburn Bay. The required white vinyl was harder to obtain – the lady in Woburn didn't have any, Turbulence wouldn't sell any but a small company based in Mal had stock and sold it to us.

The plan is to remake two side panels and the two rear panels. All are attached and fixed with zips. All will be rolled up when not in use.

I though I could do it all in a week. The reality was almost three weeks with attention to the small details taking far longer than expected.
