rigging monday on SP Gemini jack is
going up the rig for the very first time
we'll see what he comes back down to
tell us he took the GoPro strapped to
his forehead so we can see what's up
there and go back and look at footage
and see what we need to maintain or fix
replace I am down on deck and Jack is up
there check it out it's Jack's first
time up Gemini's rig so he's gonna go
try to replace our topping lift for the
end of our boom because it's an old
gross heavy rusted piece of wire with
the vinyl coating check this out it's
pretty gross help support the boom when
we go to raise the sail so we have new
and still blue I put another brutal
splice in it
and cranking up the rig then I'm gonna
replace the wire rotten crap that we
have up there and then we'll pull it
back down I'll put another splice in it
put it through another block purchase
system and then hopefully do the alcohol
is up we'll see first time up the rig
though huh

let's take a look before we send it all
the way back up the mast that looks
pretty sweet we just happened to have a
stainless thimble that fits perfectly
this will go at the top of the mast
where'd it go no it's in the bag all
right should we go crank you back over
the ring
[Music]
yeah that's so fun yeah that was great
thank you baby
it's so I'm interested to get our thing
made and weighty the difference and we
need to start logging it so we can get
like a total we just weighed the old
wire with plastic wrap around it and it
was something like sixty nine hours and
then this new Amstel blue is six ounces
[Music]

that's our new topping lift wow that's
awesome
what did we just do what do we put on
there so yeah we just replaced our
topping list for the end of our boon
which supports it when we're raising our
sales and we replaced it with a nice
shiny new to us cheaper block and a nice
setup that Jack set up with a what was
it
Dremel Brummel not to brew a slice yeah
into our am steel blue super strong blue
line and then we have it lashed to our
fancy fancy sale tie so it doesn't fly
everywhere while I make a new purchase
that's gonna go replace this sucker
