In the picture below, the keen viewer will notice that there is a spreader missing… It was damaged by a falling furler swivel during the hoisting of the mast. Hopefully the Marström team will be able to repair it over the weekend, but it still means that we won’t be able to move out of here until Sunday evening at the earliest.
On the good news side, we tried out a few of the sails and things look very good so far. Not all could be tested though, due to the spreader problem the rigging couldn’t be tensioned.
