Our next big task, one we need to do before winter, is to get our Mizzen mast up. We haven't touched it for a long while, so couldn't remember quite where we had got to and where everything was. Several years ago we pretty comprehensively stripped the mast of fittings and primed, undercoated and top coated it with International Perfection. We had got partway through wiring it for AIS and WiFi, then someone damaged it. Now it is repaired it is time to get ready to put it up. The rigging is going to be all new and all DIY - Acetal Tangs, Dyneema Shrouds, Dyneema Chainplates, FR4 backing plates etc. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.page/ If you would like to support us then we have memberships or donations on Ko-Fi! at https://ko-fi.com/sustainablesailing/ (apart from a small card processing % we get all your support which is much better value than Patreon who take a large percentage). Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. We are refitting a 1977 Rival 38 for a Sustainable Sailing retirement starting in Summer 2025. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).
