Minus mast

Hurkur with her new anti-fouled bottom, note that the rudder is still copper coated.  That was new last year so we are keeping that as it is. She had to be launched minus the mast as we discovered a last minute problem with one of the sheaths at the bottom of the mast that had cracked and had to be replaced (that is the little wheel that the main sheet moves round).  At the moment we are still waiting to hear when the mast is ready to be stepped again.  Meanwhile we’ve been busy cleaning, fabsil-ing, etc. etc. Non-stop at the moment.
