One step forward, two back
Had a reasonable sail over the weekend, due to various things I got going on Sunday and the force 6 easterly and cooler weather meant I only made it to Stangate Creek. The mast step seems to have stood up well; the rig remained tensioned and the internal measurement hadn't changed. Less positive was the pool of oil under the outboard so everything was done under sail which actually worked very well. The other set back was the halyard winch which let go under tension! Hopefully a bigger and thicker washer will fix the problem.
