We purchased a new self-tailing winch for the main halyard. This means that I do not have to hold the line with one hand and crank the mainsail up with the other. We picked it up while Margrit and Heinz were aboard and Mark installed it a day or two after they left…yeah! This will make raising the main a BUNCH easier. Here he is greasing the post.
Mark and I are retired and are living full time on our Gulfstar Custom 50 sailboat. If you are interested in just the boat re-furbishment, see posts Feb. 2009 and older.
