Washed all lines
installed new halyards, swapped red jib halard to become spinnaker halyard
Spinnaker halyard was shortened to become pole up
Extend back stay line, Updated Backstay adjuster blocks to harken blocks 308
Replace all boom lines
Installed Harken Mark IV Furler and SCHAEFER Halyard restrainer
Installed Lazy Jacks
Replaced Compass Cover Screw
Straightened anchor light
Replace mast halyard, electrical wires and coax and plugs
New antenna - problems - old was loose mast, new bad solder connection, short connector, used old connector
New wind instrument - Raymarine Mast Head Unit
mast top - tapped 10-32 instead of metric thread which was stripped.
reversed pole car up / down
Fixed mast head cover - new 10-32 screw
Put the mast back up Sunday, November 2 in cold weather.
Thanks very much for your help, James, Bill, Pierre and Armelle, Keith, Daniele and especially Norm for his relentlessness assistance in planning and installing the furler, PL259, demasting, masting and so much more.
