The term ¨mast refit¨has become established when changing the standing rigg.
To perform such a work, we remove the mast with the help of an auto crane.
Before the arrival of the crane, it is necessary to prepare the mast for its disassembly (remove the sails and the boom, disconnect the electric cables and laying them outside through the deck, prepare the wires/ropes and the wire/rope tensioners as well).
The last four pictures were taken after the performed works on the sailboat Oceanis 50 ¨Mathilde¨ in November 2023 in the marina Dalmacija, for the owner Mr. Fred who is now on his sailing trip on the route between Cape Verde and the Caribbean (as per latest information), and his goal is to go through the Panama Canal, then across the Pacific. We hereby want to greet him too, with wishes for ¨fair winds and following seas¨ .
Here, in addition to the ropes (standing rigging), cables, navigation lights... we also changed the ropes (running rigging), and it looks really nice...
