Fixing Avocet | Rebuilding our Mast
April 01, 2022 by Sailing Avocet | Language: EN Play Time: 00:00:29:33 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Through every refit we have become more familiar with Avocet’s design and layup, touching nearly every inch of the boat in the process, but there was one final piece that was left mostly untouched by us – the mast. We had already done a bit of rig work prior, fabricating all-new chainplates and replacing our cap shrouds but we knew there was much more to be done. From the records we have, our mast was installed in 2004, but it was showing signs of wear and beginning to fail in crucial areas such as the shivs. So, back to the boatyard, we went with tools in hand for a relatively quick but major upgrade.
