Video Update

10,700 page views of this blog.  Amazing!

Still tweaking the rigging.  I had the furler installed last week and ordered a Genoa furling head sail. Going on vacation for a week, so hope to start doing some sailing soon!


Here is a photo of the skateboard bushings I used to protect the deck from getting damaged when the boards are raised.















This is the ProFurl furler I bought from a sailor on Cruiser's Forum about a year ago.

I hired a rigger to install it and tune the rest of the standing rigging.  I paid about $400, which was well worth it!

















Thankfully the kit came with extensions that were necessary to raise the drum above the pulpit.  I installed stanchion blocks and fair leads to lead the line back to the helm.
























Here is a short video of the inside of the cabin.
