Debbie and I fixed the sheaves on our outhaul line that goes into the end of the boom. The line had gotten stuck between the sheave and the boom, slipping out of the sheave. It was really jammed in there.
December 2024 - Chip & Debbie 💑 currently in Marina de La Paz, La Paz BCS (Baja), Mexico
We had to remove the end of the boom and then pound out the sheave. Once out, we had to sand it as we made some marks on the sheave. We then put "One Drop" by Mc Lube on it and re-assembled it. Works good again. We do not get much down-wind sailing but it is nice to have it working.
We put up the main sail but still need to complete the reefing lines, some stack pack and lazy jack adjustments. We had to stop as the wind picked up. But sail is on with its full battons and we're excited.
