2017 Purchase Upgrades

Anchor - Replaced the original CQR for a Rocna ​
Cockpit Teak Grating - Removed it! 
​The cockpit had a substantial two piece floor over an awlgripped surface that blocked both aft corner drains (total of 4) and trapped debris with there grit degrading the nonskid awlgripped surface below it.​

2019 Season Upgrades 

​New Radio
Standard VHF radio with AIS
New Throttle
Seastar Dual Action Throttle/Gear Mechanism Replacement
Asymmetrical Spinnaker 
​Used
Autopilot
Pelagic Autopilot with controller. The arm and motor unit sit on the starboard locker hatch and all electronics are located in the starboard locker aft and the controls on the starboard bulkhead in the cockpit. The locker unit is shown in to the right of the heater in the heater photos above.  
Chainplate Replacements -
​Lowers, Uppers & Backstay replaced after 53 years! None previously inspected. Only one "slightly cracked and another with a bolt sheared. Replacements for lowers same as original but without simple welded bracket. Uppers use larger plate design (my own) using a "Spartan" deck fitting with 4 bronze bolts. Old deck slot was filled. Lowers in time.... Backstay uses larger bracket bolted to the stern bracing structure and keeps old chainplate glassed in place - cut off under the deck ands uses  "Spartan" deck fitting. No more deck leaks. ALL chainplates now inspectable and readily removable.

2020 Season Upgrades

Boom Support & Vang ​-Boomkicker 1500 with vang. The vang elements were purchased as separate elements from Defender (Lewmar) and was much cheaper than as a built up kit. No topping lift needed anymore - but have one anyway just in case needed.  
Cabin Heater
Wallas 30GB Diesel Heater in starboard cockpit locker with exhaust to hull quarter. Controls above reefer locker. Vents for heat  above starboard bunk and next to ladder. Air intake from aft deck vent and aft locker. Unit mounted to board that is mounted to the aft bulkhead and a hull fixed shim. Diesel fuel from a small plastic tank in locker below the stove - against the hull. 
Locker and interior hull painting - a work in progress Paint all "pink" hull areas to include lockers in the main cabin and the aft cockpit lockers. Trying to get as much painted as possible but not doing where impractical. All will be grey and one photo below shows the Pink color that was in many of the locker/hull areas. The biggest project is cleaning the 50+ year old grime - which there was a lot of in some areas. 
Replacement Blocks - Replaced masthead block for spinnaker halyard with a smaller one that did not bind furler - as well as blocks for the main! Shown are the old.

2021 Season Upgrades 

Remove Unneeded Deck Fittings 
​Removed foredeck and old "gas" cockpit fittings - filling holes with glassed poly resin. Cured, leveled and painted with new deck nonskid (all TotalBoat products)
Water Hoses - Replaced with simpler quick-disconnect fittings.
Old were solid black PVC non-marine. 
​Cockpit Lockers - Removed leg cutting/catching latches.
​Modify with internal locking system from the cabin - not complete 

2018 Season Upgrades

Mast Halyard Sheaves
​Sheaves (unit) on a Luders 33 vary in design. CROW's (Hull #10) are on the right. “Unit” is 3 Aluminum plates, 2 sheaves and 6 plastic “washers."
Primary binding issues were:
     1. Rope halyard oversized! 
Rope halyard should be no larger than 3/8”. Installed 7/16” line caused too much friction. 
     2. The masthead flag staff screws were too long & pressed against  outer aluminum plate adding to  binding issue.
      3. The "washers" were thin and made of plastic. Larger diameter& thinner Delrin now works like a dream!
Head Corner Bracket
The Luders 33 has deck stepped mast with mast compression at the corner walls for the Head. Substantial plywood panel approx. 2" thick. Connected by bracket. Below the floor the compression transfers to wood "beams" that sit on the hull. 
 The corner "Bracket" was exposed to the head "splash," shower water (when used) and mast leakage if not sealed properly. This one was severely corroded.
The HEAD
New AirHead Composting Toilet, all of the original plumbing, holding tank and toilet were removed! ​Vent was attached to ceiling using the port dorade for ventilation that now faces aft only for air flow, and the electric fan is attached to the main battery. Holding tank locker is now for tools.
Cabin Bunks
Clean & Paint remove old peeling vinyl on the port cushion area and luckily the v-berth had none - then painted both.
Spreader Lights
LED Replacement on the left but then  
replaced the spreader lights with a combined Steaming/Foredeck light on mast centerline.
Main Hatch Door Panel
​Single StarBoard panel Wood panels (3 pcs) for offshore.
New Prop 
​Smaller but still a tight aperture. 14" pop was too large for the aperture with more cavitation than  the new.
