Raising The Mast at 3rd Beach
A new Technical article entitled Raising The Mast by Dejan Radeka describes the rig and the process of raising the mast at the boat ramp on dry land. You are now free to trailer your boat anywhere!! Detailed parts drawings and pictures describing the setup and its use are included. Find it under Technical/Sea Sprite 23/Mast and Rigging/Raising The Mast.
It is the season for buying, selling, and therefor transporting Sea Sprites. I know some of us also dry sail our boats, and transport them to sailing areas for day sails and extended trips. Dejan has written a great summary of transport tips. They are posted under Technical, sub-menu Sea Sprite 23, sub-menu Towing. Happy Trails and Fair Winds!!
