Mast Update

It's been a pretty busy week back here in Nazare... after fitting the new props, we cracked on with setting up the rigging for the new mast. We've gone with sta-lok lower fittings so we can fit them ourselves rather than waiting a week or so for a rigger to make up all the fittings.

We then went back in the water this past Tuesday (Monday was a washout) and temporarily erected the rig so we could measure up the remaining rigging. Here's a sneak peek....

If the wind drops down today, we'll drop the rig again, fit the head sail furling gear then we can spend the next few days fitting the new boom, rigging up all the lines, fitting the sails, etc etc. In between all that, it's been great to catch up with friends at the marina and await the return of big swell...
