S2E38 my mast gets stepped!!! (Dominican Republic)
The mast got stepped today! It’s keel-stepped and I’ve secured it via the running rigging until the boat splashes, the bowsprit is repaired, and the bumpkin is installed. Then I’ll finish building and tuning the rig. Big thanks to Martin, Austin, and Brock who helped me so much in getting the mast to this condition, to Craig and Dylan who did an amazing job with the step (the mast fit perfectly) and other mast hardware, and to the crane operator, David, and all the other guys who were flawless in carrying out the operation. Thanks to Thanks to my mom and dad who supplied the running rigging, the wholesale price from Sailing Services for the standing rigging, and help with other big purchases, to Zephyrwerks for the sheeves, and to Isaac and the guys at the yard who lend a hand when I need it. Also thanks to Amy for filming a good bit of the mast stepping, and carrying the base of the mast. I’m thrilled with how it’s all turning out!

Hi there, my name is Nicole, and my single-handed journey began in 2022 on a Columbia 26. It now continues on my new boat, a 28’ Bristol Channel Cutter named Artha (the name translates to “that which allows one to pursue her dream.”) I’m on a giant adventure of seeing the world and leaving it a better place!
