Rigging

We took down the wall and moved the boat to the middle of the shop for loading.

The trailer was backed in and the yardarm jacks were used to lift the cradle onto the trailer.

We pulled the boat outside for the first time in several years and rented a lift to put the mast up and rig her.

It was the coldest and windiest day of the winter thus far. We froze and tried to keep our fingers moving as we hung on to the freezing stainless wire and fittings. It took us all day with a few breaks to get warmed up but we got her rigged with all new 316 wire and stayloc compression fittings. Then we took it all down and moved her back inside the heated shop.
