1969 Alcort Catfish SMEDLEY 25 Apr 20 Rigging

25 Apr 20:

Raised the mast on our Alcort Catfish, Skipper walked it up from behind the boat as high as she could, then I used the trailer winch, hooked to the forestay to crank it up the rest of the way. Skipper moved around to the upwind side and steadied the mast with the side stay.


Adjustable side stays, SMEDLEY uses pin hole 5.
