Heya guys. and gals. I'm tinkering on the boat again today and i'm coming up bupkis on a few things. photos included where i have them:
1.
so i have this arrangment at the boom and mast. small blocks, i THINK its to secure the boom down so that the pull of the main doesn't pick it up the track. Thing is, isn't that part of the boom vang's job?
2.
this line is on the boom right at the boom vang attachment. has a cleat there too. ... whats it called? or, what does it do? really. i'd look it up for myself if i had a name
3.
Looking at the sternside of the mast head. there's a small pin that only goes through one of the channels. I'm a bit baffled. any ideas?
4
no question. just a victory lap. mast is cleared of all old flotsam and foam crap.
5. i have a small quarter inch thick block just below the steamer on the front side of hte mast. i'm at a loss for what it might be for. no photo
6. i'm trying to find photos of how reef'd sails are rigged. i have extra cleats and cheek blocks on the boom and i'mkinda scratching my head over all of it. its less important really, i'm sure i'll figure it out quick enough first time i put a sail on there, but i'm still a bit ocd about it
7. i have the mast head down. sheaves out and all. Brass bushing sheaves on stainless pins. should i replace while its apart or just clean and reassemble?
Anyways, thats me tonight
