Daisy G has a two part mast, and the first time I rigged her I had taken the sections apart and managed to get a twist between them when I reassembled it. Took literally over an hour to disentangle it all. Now I keep the mast in one bit, just slid forward for transport. I can just slide it back, bolt into tabernacle and shove it up with a bit of a heave. I'm hoping to be able to keep the boom and halyards at least partly connected so that I don't have to spend too long reattaching them all after transport.Julianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005000699288099789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606299215272751858.post-19938608029836049712011-02-16T12:32:37.711+00:002011-02-16T12:32:37.711+00:00The problem of sorting the rigging can be helped b...The problem of sorting the rigging can be helped by using some long velcroe straps. When I derig my boat I first remove the throat halyard, peaking halyard and foresail halyards and strap to the mast with a long velcroe strap; then the topping lifts and last the shrouds. Rigging is then the reverse removing one strap at a time. This saves the many ropes getting tangled. <br />RogerCaptainparishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01741465119685822939noreply@blogger.com
