Teamwork... How to Run a New Halyard with Mast up (Calico Skies Sailing Ep 96)
July 24, 2021 by Calico Skies Sailing | Language: EN Play Time: 00:22:41 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
In this episode we prepare for a big storm coming with 30 knots expected wind predicted to blow for four straight days. We move anchor spots and then Bill gets to work on a boat project.
Before the blow hits we decide to resolve an issue we’ve been having with our code zero furler. Our boat is currently rigged with a spinnaker halyard that exits on the starboard side of the mast. Our bow sprit (where the furler attaches) is angled to the port side of the boat. The swivel for the top of the code zero furler is jamming on the headstay as we try to furl it. While the mast was down in Annapolis we added a block to the port side of the mast and cut a new exit for the halyard. Today’s mission is to remove the spinnaker halyard and rerun it through the port side blocks. Of course this is easier said than done and requires several trips up the mast. Bill tries to run the halyard alone but eventually has to call In the reinforcements, Brian from SV Delos. The boys attempt to pull the halyard through with several different tools but are having a hard time catching the messenger line. Will they win the battle?!
The wind starts to build in the evening and by the next day the anchorage is completely transformed with big choppy waves and a strong wind blowing Calico Skies around. We aren’t looking forward to the change in weather but there’s nothing we can do but grin and bear it. We double check that the anchor is set and then hunker down, hoping for the best. You have to take the good with the bad in this lifestyle and this is a perfect example of that.
