"Hoist the Mainsail!"

In order to correctly rig my boom, I needed to put the Mainsail on Annie and mark the reefing points. In that process, I discovered I have a tear in the foot of the sail  near the clew. There were also a couple of other suspicious spots on the sail that I will let Mack Sails repair. I can now start the rigging of the boom and getting ready for my departure in June.

I went ahead and took a few pictures of the sail up and then neatly tucked in her cover just because it's been 5-6 years since Annie has had her rags on.

I found an old Westsail 32 drawing as to how the boom should be rigged and I like it. It's seems simple and efficient. That is how Annie will be rigged.

Fair seas and God bless.
