We completed the installation of a Furl Boom and full batten main sail on Sunday afternoon about 1600. Russ and son Garyn spent the weekend before climbing up and down the mast installing the new track. It was too late to try out the new boom and sail, so we will have to save a trial sail for another day. But it sure looks great! Of course, that's not the reason we got it. It's a safety precaution so that either one of us is able to single hand the ketch if necessary. Eventually, we will be installing an electric winch with the lines into the pilothouse.
Our next outing is planned for Labor Day Weekend. We will be cruising with the Berkeley Yacht Club to Half Moon Bay.
