At the same time we trailered the mast to South Salem Oregon, to a friend's shop to totally strip and newly configure the mast. All the old holes, all 75 were welded, redrilled in a new configuration and Walt took about 20 months (not working over the winter) to paint, re-wire, and install the hardware and mast fittings. Marty completed the new Sailrite sail kits for fully battened main and furling jib. It was actually quite fun, although frustrating now and then. So here are some pictures of the processes...
