So today we lowered the mast to put in halyards, then raised it again and tried putting the sails on/up. So far so good. I raised the jib enough so the foot cleared the pulpit, then checked the fit of the whisker pole. If it's supposed to work with this sail and if it should be close to horizontal, that pad eye on the mast should move up to about 40" from the base. Right now it's 22" up from base. Everything else looks good to me; we took a lot of measurements so we know where the boom sits and where to open up the slot for inserting the gooseneck. Next step, order the mast and get the boat off the trailer to remove the centerboard.

I have been using one of those since I got my boat but plan to upgrade to a Ronstan line control traveler this spring.
