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!
