Mast

I choose a La France mast and boom. The were made up on the East Coast and trucked to Point Roberts. I used the standard Searunner rigging, double spreader with three forward stays, fore stay, intermediate, and baby stay. This way I could use the boat as a cutter or a sloop. 

The spreader roots were welded on at the factory as well as the winch bases. It was basically an assembly job and it was ready for installation. All the upper rigging connections were swages and all the lower ones were Norseman. The standing rigging was cut to the estimated length and then trimmed to fit. The mast was held up with halyards until the rigging was fastened.

The fore stay was fitted with a Schaefer 3000 jib furling system. I had the sails made so that I could use a genoa or yankee on this fore stay. The intermediate stay was fitted with a Schaefer release lever so that I could get that stay out of the way to make it easier to tack when I was sailing with the genoa. The baby stay was attached permanently. There are two running back stays with 6-part tackle at the lower end. These backstays are removable on the lower end. A split backstay is attached to the transom.

There are three Harken, two speed, self tailing winches on the mast. Two for halyards and the centerboard and one for slab reefing. There are six line stoppers on the mast for the halyards. I have a combination deck/steaming light on the forward side of the mast. Wind instruments, radio antenna, and a combination strobe/trilight are mounted on top.

There are four Harken two speed, self tailing winches for the genoa and stay sail sheets. They each have tracks leading to the winches mounted on the cabin top. 

The traveler mounts athwart over the rear companionway hatch cover. The traveler is made by Schaefer as are all the blocks and cars. It has a 6-part purchase and is adjustable port and starboard.

The sails consist of a 150% genoa, yankee, stay sail, storm stay sail, drifter, main, storm try sail. The main is cut with a hollow leech and is battenless. The drifter has a launching sock as well as a movable luff mounting arrangement. All sails have UV protection and covers.
