This is an ongoing mini-series documenting the total refurbishment of a 1975 vintage, aluminum mast and boom. More specifically, the mast and boom featured is from the 1975 Olympic Dolphin 23 donor boat, now intended for my new 18’ pocket cruising sailboat (S/V Ooh-Rah) still under construction.
In this episode, I intended to renew the masthead sheaves with new, Delrin sheaves with Delrin bearings but ran into a snag. You’ll see why when you watch the video.
