The mast is on!

In this week end we cut to size the forestay, shrouds and bridles

Luckily enough the designers allowed for using ties in various places in order to compensate for difference in sizes and to allow for adjustements. One nice addition were two fancy Sta/Master turnbuckles that I had purchased many years ago for our F18 cat and never used.

We would like to warmly thank our friend Filippo Vena, aka "il Comandante", boss of Basilicata Vela (the local sailing club), who assisted (and I'm using the term loosely) us in the rigging phase.

We will soon replace all the temporary ties using Dyneema.

Geodetica finally assembled on the beach

 Just back from the San Teodoro beach where we finally assembled Geodetica. We plan to return to it within next week to cut to size the stays and to raise the mast for the first time.

...and the second ama too!

 All the three hulls are on the beach now!
