Well it is finally time for a complete re-rigging of Spirit of Freedom. She is now hauled out at Canoe Cove, Sidney BC to have Blackline Marine re-rig her and do a couple of other things like bottom paint, fix the cockpit sole where the rudder stops have compressed it as well as a few other little bits and pieces. It is never easy having work done on a boat, and I suffer so much angst when she is hauled out. Especially this time, as the mast is being pulled for the first time in I don't-know-how-many years!
