Down rigging! Scenes from the boatyard life. We do Down rigging! Scenes from the boatyard life. We do a mast removal every other year. It’s pretty easy when you do it that often. I’ve come to realize that after owning this boat for 11 years, I know it so intimately. There’s not much need to label things. But I do nonetheless, because ya never know when you may lose your mind, or who might be putting stuff back together in the spring. Also, Looks like it’s time to redo the rigging as well. It’s been 11 years now. Although we have hauled the boat  almost every year since 2014, the stress cycles are still strong…. Especially those offshore expeditions to Bermuda and Newfoundland. So best practice dictates a full replacement. Peace of mind is worth it. Insurance underwriters kinda like it too.
Downrigging … our mast comes out tomorrow. We li Downrigging … our mast comes out tomorrow. We like to pull the mast every other year for a thorough inspection. It takes about a full day to get it all off and stowed properly. “Luckily” it was sunny and 78° here in Maine today 🤨 so it was a pleasant job.

GEAR ALERT 🚨 We love this @icomamericainc VHF f GEAR ALERT 🚨 We love this @icomamericainc VHF for many reasons, but the primary reason is the red backlight for night. Our old vhf was so bright even on the “night” mode…we had to put an opaque cover over the screen in order to preserve our night vision. When purchasing your next vhf, be sure to consider its nighttime usability. You can read an article by Ben about VHF best practices on @americansailing A+ and in there new 1/4ly publication Passages. #sailingprotips
