Almost a full day of work on mast today. Anchor light was wired and all lights were tested, attachment plates for shrouds were bolted down, we threaded new temp lines making sure they were on the right side of center bolts, added exit plate for spinnaker lines, and drilled holes for mast base attachment.
Finished rubrail
Finished rubrail install today with a super cool contraption – a ratcheting heavy duty strap wrapped around it and stretched to a nearby ladder (weighted down so it doesn’t move). After a few clicks I’d run around and help the rubrail stretch until I finally was able to secure it.
Mast starts to look like a mast
Started on cabinets refinish
Rubrail install
Stemhead fitting
Hull to deck joint
Many of the rivets in the hull to deck joint were missing and most bolts were loose so we tightened all the bolts, added new ones, and mad sure the seam was sound. Almost ready for rubrail install.
