Mast rebuild 10

The last day. Up early to install the last little bits of stuff and the roller furlers to the mast. Then it was time to roll the mast out to the boat and pick it up with the crane.


We had a bit of a hard time getting it to line up properly and we had to stop to put a bit of vaseline in the hole but after a few tries it went in nice and straight (sounds kind of kinky) and then we had a mast again!


The rest of the day was spent getting the rigging hooked up and the mast tuned. We should be leaving for the coast tomorrow and it looks like we’ll sail down the coast for the next few days. Thanks for reading this I hope that you enjoyed it.
