Hi All,

Getting excited. I should have the boat in the water in the next couple of months. I finished the standing rigging today and the last thing to do is make sure I can raise the mast with the new mast raising system and check out the sails and the running rigging. It's been a long road but I've worked slowly. Thanks for all the help. I'll post pics when I get it in the water.

Looking good. Keep us posted.

It's been a year and half for a very leisurely refit but it's time to get her in the water. Hyperion goes to the lake in a week or so. Anything I should be remembering about the mast stowage process? Do I need to fold in the spreaders? Bonus, question... do they need to be spread before the mast is raised or will the stays do that for me?

I plan on trialing her for a day or two then she goes to the yard for a bottom job, rub rail and the trailer gets some love. Any advice on those projects is welcome as well.

Thanks much!
