Eddie, When I started as the rigger I was told that the spring stay was attached to the mizzen mast with a light rope attached so that after the masts were stepped and the standing rigging attached to their chainplates but not tuned, the last step of attaching the rigging of going up the main, drawing up the spring stay with the light line and attaching to the main mast head could be done. That was done over my shoulders and I had to pull the spring stay up, rather difficult. I finally wised up and put the spring stay on the main, went up the mizzen and pulled down on the stay to attach it to the mizzen head. Much easier that way. I'll bet you'll remember that when the time comes.
Eddie, Thanks for welcoming me to the group, I'm thrilled/terrified to have taken on such a daunting project but I'm just trying to work on one area at a time so as not to become overwhelmed, we'll see how that logic pans out. The former seller just wanted out which was why I was able to get it so cheap, also Morro bay doesn't have a large pool of potential buyers so I actually paid $2,100 plus $400 for an in the water survey. The main worries are a mast with excessive dry rot and lots of cosmetics. Again thanks for the welcome, months ago I was able to see your youtube video of your sail to del rey, looked like a fun group, can't wait to get mine in a state to be able to go sailing again.
This is George Henderson, owner of "Faith," Hull #69 located in the Boston area. Just letting the community know that she is on the market since I now live in CO. She is priced to sell. Makes me sad but I'd like to see her legacy continue. If you know of a potential buyer I can be reached at georgehenderson.usa@gmail.com / 857-221-1581. She is in great condition and has been lovingly restored. There are pics on my members' page and a link to a Google Drive folder is below, where you will find pics and a survey.
