We Have a New Mast!

Our new mast has arrived and as of this post (Jan 28, 2021), is being installed by Zern Rigging of Pensacola.  Once the install is completed and we have se-trialed the boat, I will write a post on the differences and improvements.

Needless to say we are very happy and will soon be back on the water.  We are planning a cruise starting (hopefully) in March.  More info to follow on that.  We have been very busy with repairs since Hurricane Sally.......and the new mast is a significant step forward.

Here are a few photos of the work in progress:


Waiting patiently for the boom truck to lift the mast!








New mast design - note the spreaders - Two levels!


St. Christopher and Silver in place - taking no chances this time.  Note the more robust mast foot.



Mast in place  - now to work on the Standing Rigging



One step closer to getting back to being a Sailboat!
