First sail completed
After an interesting winter and our share of problems this spring - we have finally completed our first sail - on the Genoa alone since we can't fly the main yet. First was the issue of getting the boom onto the mast of this 1984 Hunter 31. Three men and a boy took almost an hour to get it mounted. If it comes off again, I am buying the retrofit kit! Then we find out that when the mast was being stepped and there was a problem with a halyard disappearing into the mast and having to unstep and restep, the main halyard seems to have popped off the sheave - or something. Still, it is fun sailing on Seneca Lake. Glad to be back on the water....
