Tuesday
Had a go at making up some Lazy Jacks.
There was a pair of small blocks on the mast at about 3/4 hight.
We ran some 3mm line through them and tied them to a 8mm line at the front of the mast before we raised the mast over the weekend.
Made up some more small line to form the rest of the system.
There was only a light wind blowing from the Port bow so we put the main sail on the boom and mast and tried hoisting and lowering it.
The system worked well.
Now we need some slightly larger line, some hard eyes and some sort of fixings under the boom to set it up properly.
Good evenings work / play. |
