Mast rebuild 7

Another day of mast building but the end is in sight. Today I finished "dry" installing the hardware at the top of the mast and also fit the rest of the hardware on to the mast. (This is where everything is fit but not put into place permanently).



Afterwards, I put the first coat of varnish on the mast!!! YEA! As soon as we have 4 coats of varnish the mast can be put back up and we will head out of here.
While the varnish dried, I also rebuilt the destroyed roller furler and we picked up the new anchor & chain. Soon we will be a cruising boat again.
