Deck and Rigging

 Foredeck
 Teak grab rails
 Looking aft with Lucy trailing behind
 That's a jack line running parallel to the grab rail.
 Bottom of spinnaker pole and mast tabernacle, and of course everyone's favotite mushroom vent.
 Looking up the mast and spinnaker pole track

 Monitor Windvane, our 3rd crew member, and actually the only crew who steers 97% of the time. 7 KG Bruce anchor.

 Port side canvas fully deployed.

 Dual pivoting stainless steel tabernacle. Easy mast lowering!
 Dyneema Dux rigging spliced around Colligo Marine thimbles. Hayns turnbuckles.

 Dux rigging and soft hanks on forestay with working jib hanked on ready to go.

 Outboard bracket.
 Mast steps up to lower spreaders.
 Starboard side canvas side flap half down/up.

 Anchor roller
