Mast rebuild 9

The final day of work. I started out installing the mast steps and the roller furler deflection pulley at the top of the mast. These are really helpful when you’re at the top of the mast in a boson chair and need to get that extra 24 inches higher to work on the light or the wind vane.

I also installed the mast track and the jumper strut collar that the jumper struts mount into on the mast and then the struts and their wires.


After that I mounted the spreaders and also the rest of the standing rigging. Tomorrow, we hook on the roller furlers and the 2 halyards then the mast is ready to go up.

  2. Just think how lucky that this didn't happen in the Bahamas!!
    Also now you won't need to varnish the mast for a while.
