Sunshine Baby IV Gets New Steering Cables

 The next step in the restoration is the installation of new steering cables for Sunshine Baby IV. Wait 'til you you hear where our Captain, Jim Aid sourced the cables.


Here's the 'Baby' on the shore of Lake Maggiore  back in February. Little did we know THE place to go for the new steering cables was only about a mile away. A place called The Yacht Rigger, at 200 14th Ave. Southeast, St Petersburg, FL.  They have everything and anything you need for sailboats, and all watercraft. They have the ability to custom make to your specs and they were just what we needed for replacing our steering cables. The shop is way cool and in working with JC there, it was a pleasurable experience and very educational. The Sunshine Baby restoration team is glad Jim found this place.

Here's a sample of what they had for our application:

                                                                   They have Cables!

                                                  And all the hardware to go with it.

                                                         And JC knows how to fabricate it.

                                                  With Jim assisting- a custom cable is made.

                                                               Jim checking the work.

                                                And soon the new cables with be installed.
