It's a stick up!

It's been a week of fairly active work, apart from the house project the mast has been lifted and in preparation there has been much to do.

Mast n string

  The stay for the stay sail has been enhanced with a furler (upper left) which was splendid and then we realised that there was no where to put the boom so we had to swap it back quickly for a simple original stay and put the new furler into storage while a solution is found. I also mounted the new radar scanner and reeves the new halliards, put on the new lazy jacks and sorted the mass of cables, ropes and string into a sensible order so that when the crane came along we could lift her without everything getting tangled.

Spreaders, large, small and just right

New lights and TV aerial
