I stepped her mast Easter Sunday!

Well!
I had in my plans to rebed another protal on LAdy Jo Sunday but it looked like rain. I figured I'd hold off on that.

so . . . . . . .
I took my new gin pole I made last fall off Lady Jo and put it on Forplay!
I was able to step her mast safely and easily all alone and even with the factory original mast hook!

YEAH!

I did have to add a pair of pad eyes to the side of the mast to make this work but hey, they were only 13 dollars each!

Unfortunately it is raining again this week so I have not taken photos yet.

Oh yeah, for those who were not aware, I was using my boom as a gin pole per the original instructions that came with a C22. What I found was that it worked great however I quickly tired of figuring out each line and where it goes each time. So . . . . I made a dedicated gin pole with dedicated blocks and lines! So far so good!!

Alan? Save up some money! You can make one too! I know you have an original mast hook you can replace that silly thing you have now! LOL!

Scott I guess we cancelled each other out - I unstepped the mast on the Cal Easter Sunday..brought it back to the house.

Also opened EE up after the winter and did spring cleaning.

Way to go Scott. It was, after all, resurrection Sunday!
