The mast is nearly ready, only about 6 weeks late thanks to the Covid lock-down. Paul and Robin have done a great job and the mast is looking a million bucks (feels about close to what the repair cost too...). I must admit it's a good feeling knowing your mast has been gone over from top to bottom.
The new masthead has been sheathed in fibreglass, so it is fully sealed - don't want it all happening again! We had all the fittings electro-polished as well, the spreaders have been painted and varnished, etc, etc. I will replace some of the standing rigging as well, but don't want to hold things up, so will do that after the mast is in. Plan at this stage is, subject to weather, to put her back in Kamalii on Thursday. Fingers crossed.
