Re-rigging

One of my first tasks was to sort out the boat's rigging. It had been badly done - some lines were too thin or too short.

I replaced all the main lines (topping lift, halyards, reefs, furling line etc). I installed a new set of jammers on the coach roof and move a redundant winch from the mast to the coachroof.

After a few disasterous sails during which I had to sort out rigging problems, she can now be sailed single-handed aith ease.
