MUMM36 ACE Masting

Mike Cullen called me on Sunday morning when I was at the Whitby Yacht Club to work on my boat.  He wanted help bring ACE from the yard in outer harbour to National to avoid some storage fees.

Got down there around 11am and Michael, Mike, Carson, and Kris were working on the boat.  They had decided they wanted to mast the boat instead of laying it on the deck.

We spent sometime rebedding the cabintop winches, clutches, forward stantions, and bow pulpit.  They were removed for transport to get the height below 13ft from the bottom of the keel.

Huge cockpit!

Took a while to figure out how to rig the backstay, running backstay, and check stays.
