Info on our ROTATING carbon mast and ANCHORING sytem

We test out our stowing anchor system and then settle down for a discussion about our carbon fibre rotating wing mast. It's another recycling project that we have not yet shared with you all in any detail. Rescued from the rubbish, this is a mast with a bit of history. It is the old America's Cup Team New Zealand rig from the 2000 campaign which made its way to Spain to compete as the French challenger in 2007. Hopefully, this will give those of you who are interested, an insight into how a professional rigger sets up his mast configuration on his own boat.
Points of interest:
*Shayne still hasn't to date put a safety line on his r clip yet 🙄
* In answer to Ayden's question - Davy Jones' Locker is a metaphor for the bottom of the sea: the state of death among drowned sailors and shipwrecks. It is used as a euphemism for drowning or shipwrecks in which the sailors' and ships' remains are consigned to the depths of the ocean. Wikipedia
