At last, we have fitted the DIY mast tangs (see "New! Version 3 of DIY Mast tangs for Dyneema shrouds: Synthetic standing rigging Episode 9"    • New! Version 3 of DIY Mast tangs for ...   )

We refitted the mast foot too!

Also refitted the reinforcement plates for the mast tang bolts.

And we finished painting the mizzen mast, it's spreaders, boom and the main mast spreaders.

We are refitting a 1977 Rival 38 for a Sustainable Sailing retirement starting in Summer 2025. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing allelectric (motor, cooking etc). More details on our blog at https://sustainablesailing.net/
