The masts getting installed

This is a bit loud but well worth a view.

From start to finish it took the whole day, April 3rd, to rig the two masts for the Andalucia. There are a lot of pieces required to install the masts; the standing rigging (the wire to keep the masts up) and the running rigging (the ropes that operate the sails). The crane was only used for 2 hours but the rest of the time there was whole lot of effort on the part of Fritz and his team at Pacific Offshore Rigging to get the job done in one day.

Now the wiring, sails and final survey. We sure hope to be able to move the boat up to Long Beach (downtown marina) mid month.
