Ready to sail

Final touches on DY171 are underway prior to her first sail, I have attached some photos I took after working in the rain all afternoon.


New additions include: A simple cleat on the starboard side of the mast for the cunningham and helm / crew toestraps. I have also adjusted the position of the genoa tracks. An optimum time race watch is mounted forrad near the mast. A "mast break" strop has been added this is a more accurate method of bend control than using chocks. The mast break strop will not be utilised fully until an aluminium mast collar has been added inorder to strengthen the area around this part of the mast.



Happy Sailing
Rich
