Photo by Serge, Elise's caretaker.
Elise is getting a new headstay, new set of shrouds and a new top spreader bar (the previous one was damaged with hoist operations). Everything else looked good, so just a bit of cleaning but that's about it.
I hope it's obvious to everyone that losing your mast because of bad maintenance in the middle of the Pacific isn't something to look forward to. I am a strong believer in good maintenance as a safety measure. Things will break no matter what you do, but I don't want poor state to be the reason for it!
