14th August

Dragged Nuts out of the workshop on its trolley and jacked it up to make it level.  Had to use a water filled transparent tube to get the level as my laser level doesnt work too well in bright sunshine.

With the help of Mrs Nuts swiveled the mast up using dyneema shrouds and a temporary block and tackle  on rope as a forestay.  The stainless steel forestay was connected at the top and could be measured for accurate cutting and crimping once I got the mast positioned in what I hope is the correct position.  Cut and crimped - just got to make 2 stainless straps as a toggle to finish off.  

Now the fun starts but still waiting for some of the running rigging to arrive.
