Example of how I Leave my wires in place and just coil them for transport. Little velcro straps are used to fasten the wires to the hiking straps.

Mast step modification. I made this plate that will get bolt to the inside of the mast. I had o do this because the previous owner mangled both sides of the base, and a cople holes were large enough for a 3/8 bolt. This has worked great. Very strong.

Using 600 then 1000 grit sand paper, followed with buffing compound and wax, brought the shine back to a very oxidized hull.
