And 4 days later the mast and it's new rigging was
ready to put back on to the boat. But the crane was not available until
the following day The crane arrived at 11.35 and Demir had the mast
stepped with shrouds attached by 12.25! :-
 There's not much holding the mast. They
wrapped a bit of old blanket around the head of the crane to avoid damaging the
anodised coating. All high tech stuff:-
 Lots of delicate fittings and cables to protect
while supporting the base as the mast is being lifted:-
