Saturday, spent the morning scrubbing the deck and inside of Big Still Time. Also added the split rings to the turnbuckles.
Got to troubleshooting the mast electrical only to discover that the deck light bulb needed replacement.
Martin didn't have one, so I called Ron at Nats Marine. Drove to Pickering to pick it up.
Sunday started working on the mast after 2pm. Peter came by and helped.
- verified the electrical deck/steaming light was working us a old 12V battery
- ran the main/fore sail halyards inside the mast
- attached the mast head
- attached the antenna
- attached the new windex
- attached the uppper and lower shrouds
- attached the spreaders/boots
- cut the 1" starboard to size for under the mast plate
- attached starboard and mast step to coachtop with some silicone
- attached the new backstay
- attached the new backstay adjuster
- attached the external spin halyard to the masthead crane
- attached the external spin topping lift to the middle of the mast
Peter orginally came over for crew to go out sailing, but alas there flags were drooping.
Still have to before we can race on Wednesday:
- put a backing plate under stem fitting in bow
- connect electrical and coax
- put shroud tubes on
- tune the rig
- attach boom
- attach vang
- hook up main sheet
- hook up traveller lines
- fix port cam cleat
- clean up the topsides
- clean up the insides
