Setting up the rigging and the trailer

                   The old deck is in the boat for now just so we can have somthing to stand
                                                      on while sorting out the rigging



                    The sails are hoisted so all the lines cleats and fittings can be put into place



                                        Everything appears to be coming together  nicely





         The boat is raised with jacks in its assembled state with the mast removed to set up the trailer .




 Now i need to square everything up so we can finish the cradles on the expanding arms of the trailer.






The poor old tiered leaf springs didn't take the load of the boat very well and sagged quite a bit .
                          So they will need to be replaced as part of the trailer overhaul  .

                    1300kg jack stands and a steady plank of wood (for safety you know)   :)  




                                        Next job , need to go into town to get some parts .
