Big Mastday! @ S/Y Linnea

Big Mastday!

Posted on July 28th, 2007 matti No comments

So at last we could raise the mast. Thank you Ricard for all the seizings etc.

First we moved the heavy thing to the mast crane.

Then we moved the boat.
We just had to take a trip under engine. Here is Ricard at the tiller. I must say that this boat is much easier to maneuver than our last boat, even though the propeller is offset. When in reverse I didn’t find any prop walk whatsoever and it started turning quite fast for a boat with this kind of keel.

A bit nervous at the mast crane.

I climbed up to untie the sling.

And we are up!

And back to the jetty.

  Sorry about the pictures being all over the place. I have no idea how to make them look better. /m

  That mast looks pretty straight to me. I think boat builders worry too much!
