That’s quite a change, isn’t it?
Monday, August 17th, 2009
Over the weekend we were able to get the shrouds, stays and halyards back onto the mast. The new leather on the shrouds looks great, and the halyards are cleaner. I’d post a pic, but I left my camera in Ann Arbor.
The bobstay chain came down (after much struggling with the shackles) and we were able to re-galvanize it and take a link out (it was sagging a little, and the turn-buckle was almost all the way in).
We’ve also got the wedges and shroud turnbuckles ready to go, so I guess it is time to get the masts hoisted (scary, huh?).
This composite kinda’ pleases me, so I share. Joanna took the ‘old’ pic. Also (from Comments) some pics of the shrouds:
