\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last two weeks Chad and I have been working on Darling from the top of the rig to the bottom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What I was doing up the rig was removing the old top cap that had been demolished on the furler. It had damaged the foil so i had to hacksaw part of the foil then hammer out the old top cap and install a new one (as seen here). Instead of two\u00a0machine screw\u00a0I\u00a0installed 4.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The remains of the old top cap and copious amounts of tape that had been put on instead\u00a0of fixing the problem.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The\u00a0\u00a0batten pocket ends had suffered a lot of UV damage so the massive mainsail that ways 400 lbs had to be removed from the boom by Chad and I and carted up to my truck and taken to Doyle (who has ground floor access) for repair.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>You can see from the different shades of blue the uv damage to the mainsail.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Some safety equipment has needed an overhaul.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The cloud from the Chevron fire over in Richmond luckily we were upwind.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>View from the top of the rig.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Chad being domestic and\u00a0doing the ironing. I did some as well!\u00a0 All those white sheets have to be ironed and hospital folded in the cabins.<\/p>\n

Some nights I have been leaving pretty late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
