East Coast Riggers pulling the mast to replace all the standing rigging.
Pulling out corroded mast partner
No wet core, but lots of gaps between deck, core and liner.
Removed partner
Sanded, primed, painted and clear coated both the partner and the trim ring.
Re-bedded with Butyl tape
Dry-rotted electrical connection for the mast...
any wonder why the lights were intermittent?
corroded wires
All newly repaired and working :)
Mast Step looks awful
2" of gunk in there
Removed step and cleaned all surfaces
Sanded, primed and painted mast step. Also added 2.50 Euros under the mast :)
Mast Ready to go back up!
Dry fit for now. Will core and tap these into the cabin top next weekend,
Thanks to Nautos US in Ft Lauderdale for shipping these up, post Annapolis Boat Show and not charging for shipping!!
