I ordered a length of each of the colors of Maffioli NewSwift for the vang, cunningham and outhaul control lines.

The cascade part of the cunningham and outhaul will be grey Yale Ultrex 12.

I also got the upgraded cleats and turning blocks for the outhaul and cunningham,

a dinghy hook for the clew, and I already got a Rooster clew strap for my birthday.

I also bought all the various micro blocks that I'll need to rig all these new purchase systems and a new pair of aluminum traveller fairleads.

This weekend I'll rig everything up and see how it all works. Very exciting. The boat will also be given a good wash and any sketchy looking fittings will be removed and reattached with new silicon sealant.
