So I've been working on my Mast, trying to make some headway to getting water ready (for Christmas maybe? LOL)
Anyway, I've got most of the stuff done on the masthead, new spreaders done, big stuff reattached to mast like spreader brackets, etc. I want to get the rigging up so I check and mark positions of where I want my halyard exit guides (The Ronstan slot type, smooth rides, no sheave box). I have no electrical in the mast yet, will finish halyards first, wire run last.
My dyneema rigging is still not all done yet, just the forestay and backstay. So I hooked those up and the rest was my old wire rigging. New Turnbuckles are all set in place on deck, pins on standby with split rings. I am using the winch on my trailer connected to a spectra loop that goes just above the spreaders. All this work today and with an hour of sunlight left I actually didn't get much further than this;
