Rigging and other small jobs

May 14, 2019 by Lukasz Kumanowski

Tonight I tensioned the rig and mounted genua onto the roller. All grease points on Furlex got Selden grease, turnbuckles followed.

Boom is mounted but I didn’t manage to instal mainsail - it became cold and dark. During the day it is 16 degrees but after sunset temperature drops to zero. Deck becomes iced so I take no risks dancing with ropes on it.

Last couple of evenings I was finishing some small jobs. I’ve installed rescue line on a drum - it supposedly will enable retrieving MOB after he/she grabs the rescue ring. I’ll test it underway but it seems that the drum has too much friction to seamlessly release the line without dragging rescue ring.

Sail track installation was finalised with tensioning the bolts and anchoring it to the hull.

If all goes well we leave Rosättra on Saturday.
