Boat Plans Pdf
We stepped the new mast a few days ago. The whole operation went without a hitch, except for the actual delivery of the mast, which was shipped from US Spars in Gainesville, FL. The trucking company, called "Big Dog" is not one I would use again. The driver picked up the mast around July 1st and told me it would arrive on the west coast on the 5th or 6th. Well, that day rolled around and the mast didnt show up, and when I called the driver he said hed be there in three or four days due to some sort of family complication. Another three or four days roll by and I called him again. Well, more complications and blah, blah, blah and itll be a few more days. So I rearrange my schedule again and sure enough, when I got through to the driver, "yada yada yada, a few more days". The thing finally arrived about three weeks late, but the driver entertained us with the most horrific story of tragedy and travail on the road...Bottom line, Big Dog no bueno.
Anyway, the mast was in good shape when it arrived, and making the swap was pretty easy, and done in a couple of days. I brought the boom home and converted it from a roller furling type to a real boom with an outhaul and three reefs. Its about ready, but first I have to install the Tides Marine sail track system, which Ill get done next weekend. The new mainsail, a dacron unit with full battens, was delivered this week from Elliott-Pattison and I have the lazy jack system nearly ready to install. Were still getting bids on the "Stackpack" and expect to make a decision on it in the next couple of weeks.
As of today, the costs look like this:
Mast with optional equipment................ $3,500
Shipping cost........................................ $2,300
Yard bill for swapping out the mast........ $1,570
Converting the boom..............................$ 100
Tides Marine sail track system................$1,250
Full-batten dacron mainsail.....................$3,000
Subtotal...............................................$11,720
We still have to purchase the Stackpack bag, lazyjack materials and reefing gear, which I estimate to cost around $1,200.
You may ask if its worth upwards of $14K for what amounts to nothing more than converting the roller furling mainsail to a classic type. I think the answer would be different for everyone. For us the answer is an unqualified Yes because well be able to SAIL to weather, reef the main on any point of sail, and rest assured that well never get caught out with the mainsail stuck.
Photos coming soon.
