Icon is now a sailboat again...
We put the mast back in the boat today. The weather wasn't the best but we managed to get it installed before the rain and wind arrived! We started at 8:00am by pushing the mast (in its cradles) down the road from the shop where we were working on it to the dock. At the dock the crane was waiting and we managed to put it back in without too much trouble (only took about 2 hours). We then temporarily attached all the shrouds and moved the boat back into its slip. We now have to re-tune the rig and put on the boom, install the hydraulics, plus install all the halyards, etc.
Our new communications & GPS rack is also now on the boat - here is a picture of what it looks like. By tomorrow we should have it all functioning. We have less than two weeks before our first event of the 2010 season - the annual Foul Weather Race from Anacortes to Friday Harbor...
