In the past days we were very busy replacing the rigging of the masts. I
climbed up and down so often that now I know each square centimetre of
the mast.
We replaced the whole staying of the boat and changed some other things,
too. We set the forestay a little more to astern otherwise there would be
problems with the Genoa-sail when doing a tack. Due to the forestay I
had also problems with getting acess to the anchor compartment.
We also added a diamond shaped rigging. When I will use the stormfoksail
this rigging will keep most of the tension away from the mast. Up
to now there were only the backstays for this purpose. But if those get
damaged in a storm I might loose the whole mast. That´s what I want to
prevent.
With help from an aluminium-manufacturer I was working on the targa
frame for the solar-panels that will be placed at the boat´s stern.
Tomorrow it will be mounted. We now finish some little things and look
towards the coming lawsuit.
