After work John came down to the club, and we got the mast ready to be installed.
John had to run to Home Depot to get a longer stainless bolt. We installed the VHF and windex, and taped off the spreaders. The new turnbuckles are the wrong thread to use the existing T Bolts on the shrouds. Will figure out later.
Peter came by and helped put the mast on the boat at my slip. No issues really.
John and I worked for about an hour to tighten the fasteners for the jib tracks. John kept the bolts from spinning while I turned the nuts on the inside. The bolts can't spin soasnotto beak the watertight seal of the butyl tape.
After sailing on Sumac, I got the boom, vang, and mainsheet rigged. All that is left is to tighten the shrouds.
First race is tomorrow night, and the forecast is LOTS of wind!
