Building Mizzen mast support & chainplates for dyneema stays #DIY #Rigging #Dyneema #BoatRefit

This time we make huge progress towards finishing the epoxy work in our aft cabin by finishing the backing plates for the dyneema chainplate loops, building much stronger support for our mizzen mast foot and then continuing progress on the bilge drains around our new watertight battery box. We are now living aboard our Rival 38 Centre Cockpit full-time while finishing a refit so we can launch ASAP. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £20 per year for Early Bird Supporters. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.p... Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).
