SHOULD WE RE-RIG THE BOAT? - SAILING FOLLOWTHEBOAT Ep 116

$10,000 to re-rig our boat?! The rigging's ten years old, so our insurers insist we change it. But what do the professional riggers think?

Liz went up the main mast to help our rigger with measuring the triatic, a feat requiring a certain amount of acrobatics and skill. With the job complete, we sat down to discuss what to do next... Service or replace? In the meantime, work still continues on the dodger, with Lek and Wit's the stainless team adding supports for the GRP/honeycomb back struts. That diesel leak still needs attention, and Liz spends a glorious day cleaning out the tanks...again. And we open a bottle of Champagne! And Jamie lets us in on one of the less fun jobs he regularly undertakes... Thanks for watching and for your fantastic support! Peace and fair winds to each and every one of you. #sailing #sailingchannel #sailboat #sailboatmaintenance #followtheboat 🙏 FOLLOWTHEBOAT ON PATREON https://www.patreon.com/followtheboat 🙏 FOLLOWTHEBOAT RUM FUND https://followtheboat.com/thanks/ 📷 FOLLOWTHEBOAT GEAR: https://kit.com/followtheboat ✍️ FOLLOWTHEBOAT BLOG! https://followtheboat.com/contact/ 🛒 FOLLOWTHEBOAT SHOP https://followtheboat.com/shop 📚 FOLLOWTHEBOAT E-BOOKS: 1.
