Top O' Mast

The top o' mast is ready to be raised.
New triplex wiring (for new mast light) and VHF cable (for VHF antenna) run through mast.
New top o' mast light (all around white for anchoring, red/green/white for sailing at night) and bracket.
New VHF antenna and bracket.
New windex (to tell the direction of the wind).
New roller furler (for jib).
Thanks beyond words to Russell for his help and smiles while straddling the mast in preparation for the erection party ;)

There was a lot of drilling and tapping going on ;)

Not only did the top o mast have lots of task work...
Two new spreaders and spreader brackets were made by JSI in St. Pete. One of the brackets a "special" bracket for covering the mast dent resulting from Hurricane Wilma. Drilling and tapping had to be done to secure the new spreader bracket as well.
