Got to the club a little after 4pm to get little Still Time ready for racing on Wednesday night.
Good thing I did this today, as the port aft lower shroud would not connect to the chainplate (too short). I then realized that the forward lowers are 1/2" shorter than the afts. When putting the mast up on Sunday, I had put both forward lowers on the port side. Harvey, Dave, and Mark helped me go up the mast with ladder and move the lowers around. Was a PITA putting the split rings back in the clevis pins!
Would not have been racing if I left this to race night.
After tuning the rig, and attaching all the running rigging, John and I headed out for a shake down cruise.
Winds were 8 knots from the E, we got the boat going over 5 knots. We sailed out to the race couse and tacked around mark 9.
She sailed well.
