I made new topping lifts on Wednesday. 6mm poly hemp instead of 8mm but I think it will be fine. Spliced the lazy jacks on starboard but left port alone.
Got to the boat about 2:30 and fitted them. On the port side I tied in butterfly knots and threaded the lazy jacks through with a stopper knot. This way, we can adjust them and disconnect them completely if needed.
Hauled Alison up the mast to fit them. All went very well. Let her down again.
Tightened the shrouds. Hopefully the garboards will work a little less.
Lovely meal at the Waypoint.
Most relaxing and optimistic day we’ve had in a long while.
