Installing a BRAND NEW Custom Mast! (Yes, Leopard Catamarans Sent it)

Over the next two episodes we're going to take you through a play by play of what it was like getting a whole new mast on our sailboat, from stripping down the old mast to stepping the new mast. For those of you who are new, we also touch on why it is that our barely used boat is having the mast changed over at all.

One of the heroes of this chapter of our story is Jean Gui, a French rigger from ZSpars, the manufacturer of our mast. We are extremely appreciative of him, ZSpars and everyone who facilitated his coming to Trinidad, as he is extremely competent, knowledgeable and an all round great guy who has been a pleasure to have on Liger both times we've seen him.

The new mast was provided by Leopard Catamarans as part of our Leopard 45 warranty experience, which has been going on for years now. We hope it will be wrapping up soon so we can move on with our lives, and put this stressful and arduous chapter behind up,
