Just popped up to the boat as the weather was fair. Managed to get the rig up, got the jib up and it looks good! I am most pleased!
bit of an improvement to a few weeks ago...
Funky levers for pulling on the rig tension, no faffing with boat breakers required! The forestay is tied at the bow, then these levers are used on each shroud to pull on the rig tension. There is also a highfield lever on the jib halyard. Pulled them all on and it looked pretty good!
Then one final one with the jib up. I tried to get the main up but the halyard popped out of the block at the mast tip so I only got it half way up... then it started raining so thought I had better get it packed up again.
Put her back to bed under her recycled cover!
Total cost of the project to date... £75. That was for the trolley from JimC! REALLY looking forward to getting it on the water and setting that beastly 9 foot pole!
