SUMMARY
The main spar is a single section of extruded aluminum with
a white paint finish. The
spar is keel stepped and equipped with one set of aluminum
spreaders. The standing
rigging is 1 x 19 stainless steel multi-strand wires with
roller swage fittings aloft and at
the deck level. Bronze turnbuckles with toggles are provided
at deck level for
adjustment.
The standing rigging consists of a headstay, a backstay, one
cap shroud and two
lowers. The rig was inspected aloft and all terminations,
turnbuckles and attachment
points were secure and free of obvious defects. Exposed terminations
did not show
swage cracking upon hand magnification. Spreaders were securely
attached at their
inboard ends and upper shrouds properly captivated outboard.
Sheaves were turning
freely and all components at the masthead were secure and
in good order.
Mast lighting consisted of one anchor light at the masthead
and one combination
foredeck/steaming light. All functioned properly. The lens
and bulb are missing on the
foredeck side of the combination light.
Cosmetically the spar is generally in good condition. Miscellaneous
spar hardware
consisted of one Windex at masthead, one electronic wind indicating
wand and
paddlewheel, one Barient # 18 stainless steel winch, one Barient
# 22 stainless steel
winch, one Barient # 10 stainless steel winch, one AM/FM TV
tuning antenna, one VHF
antenna and a lazy jack sail handling system. The mast also
has an internal sail track
for 7/8” plastic main sail slides. There are 3”
stainless steel toggles on the headstay, the
backstay and both cap shrouds. There are 2 ½”
stainless steel toggles on the forward
and aft lowers. It appears that when the standing rigging
was measured or fitted to the
boat it was too short (or the wires were “re-swaged”),
so a correction appears to have
been made by installing toggles to correct the situation.
The chain plates are stainless steel and are through bolted
with a stainless steel backing
plate to different bulkheads below. They all appear to be
in good condition. The mast is
supported at deck level with an alloy collar around the partners
at deck level. There are
also tie downs from the deck to the spar below deck. The heel
fitting at the base of the
mast is constructed of alloy and it is resting (apparently)
on a stainless steel plate. The
boom is also constructed of extruded aluminum compatible with
the main spar with a
white finish. The main sheets, sheets down to an adjustable
traveler mounted on the
deck. The out haul is a block and tackle system internally
of the boom. There are two
outboard reef lines that are also internal that lead to a
winch on the back of the mast.
The stainless steel gooseneck fitting and other points of
high loading were carefully
sighted and no significant defects were obvious. The boom
is equipped with a topping
lift, which is cleated off on the outboard end of the boom.
A Hood Seafurl 2 roller furling
system was actuated by manual control line led aft of the
cockpit area. It was tested at
the dock with light loading. It operated smoothly with no
abnormal binding. All
components and installations sighted were free of obvious
defects. The control line for
the furler is at the end of its service life. Halyards, sheets
and other running rigging are
constructed of braided Dacron and appeared in serviceable
condition.
Overall Summary: Good
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Replace the control line for the roller furler.
2. Check all halyards throughout the entire length for chafe
damage prior to sending
personnel aloft.
3. Replace foredeck light lens and bulb.
