Rigger needed - Westhaven


Norwegian Blue

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Between the wind on Saturday and finding a wand in 2 bits this morning meant that I was not able to step the mast this week-end and won't be able to for another 2 weeks, as both my regular crew flew out this afternoon.

 

So, any recommendations for someone to do this (help me with it)? I don't want to stay on a 12m berth for longer than I have to.

 

How much is reasonable to step a mast, tune the rig? (Whiting 1/4 ton). It took us plonkers about an hour to slaken the shrouds/forestay and heave it out with the gantry at Westhaven.

 

I will also need a new wand bracket. The current setup means that the batten has to have holes drilled in it, so no wonder they are snapping. I guess a clamp type fitting needed. Are they off-the-shelf items, or do they need to be fabricated.

 

Many thanks.....

 

Pete
