C22 Masting

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!
