Putting back together

08 December 2014
Been working steady putting everything back together, got the dodger and bimini back on, probably in everyone's way but I needed to see some progress. Stepped the mast but in the process made the decision I should have made when it was on the ground to replace some of the standing rigging. Once we got it set up I took off the lower shrouds and replaced them, then replaced the split backstays. Got everything tensioned and looks great. Put my boom on, mainsail and headsail, realized I had put my main halyard on backwards so had to change that, then during the raising of the headsail got my jib halyard wrapped around the foil so had to pull that down and fix that too. The joys of working on a boat when you really don't know what you're doing.
