Got the boat back in the water yesterday. The mast raising system worked well and the trailer mods made it successful with no issues. Only Problem, while we were on the ramp someone drove by and stole the A frame we had laid on the ground. The people with me thought they were trash pick up people and did not pay attention to them, but when we checked with the marina they were just junk collectors that had nothing to do with the marina. Now I have to build another one to get the boat out the end of April for a week outing on another lake.

We performed the name change ceremony at the dock, appeased Neptune consumed some campaign and had a great afternoon.

That reminds me a gipsy joke:

One gipsy was fixing the flat tire on his car while the other just came by, broke the window and started removing the stereo.
The first one said, hey man, what are you doing?
The second one, you take the tires, I take the stereo

You gonna be at the lake this weekend Howard?

I'm heading out in a bit....have my latest batch of teak to reinstall and want to put a few more "break in" hours on the motor. Winds are supposed to be calm today, but 10-20 tomorrow.

Tight, but not like a guitar string. Not loose and flappy, but snug and solid to the touch.

Is that vague enough? That's the best I was able to find doing rig tuning by hand and without the tension thingy.

I'm heading out in a bit, hope to get some sailing in today. Yesterday Lowell (guy with the O'Day 25 between us) and I motored over to Lake Country Marina, met a guy and got a tour of the boat storage warehouse, then I motored as far north as Lakeview Marina. Put 4 more "break in" hours on the motor. Oh, and got my other galley cabinet installed.

Check the owner's manual under "Manuals and Brochures". There are guidelines for rough shroud setting without instruments. I use that technique with a little subsequent fine tuning under sail.
