May 3
As planned, we got WH in the water today and got the mast in.. The mast is about 60 feet long, so it;s quite the extravaganza, but the crew at Frank Hall Boat Yard got it done as smooth as silk. Started rigging and getting ready for the sails. The motor started on the first crank after all winter on land, and all systems seem functional. We were both relieved to find no leaks anywhere!
Ready for splashdown!
Picking up the mast with the crane. Yikes!
Don’t drop it!
Success! She’s a sailboat again!
this is great! I’ll be following ! Very exciting!
