Elise News

Thought I'd give some news...for the benefit of Elise's fan club...

Rigging:
  • new mast made it to the Bay Area
  • old and new masts are at the Rigger's
  • old mast is getting stripped of its clothes so that new mast will look like old mast
Lines
  • spin and jib halyards are ready
  • topping lift is ready
  • we had a new (spare) main halyard
  • Not all the halyards are broken but we decided that their integrity was compromised...
  • Planned delivery of the new lines: Jan 19. The new mast has tag lines installed in the mast so it should be very easy to install the halyards
Fiber Glass work
  • Weather permitting: this week or next
  • Now that the mast is out of the way, it will be easier to do that
It looks like 3-bridge is doable. Fingers crossed!
