Oh well, it's only money!
Just ordered metres and metres of new string to replace all the existing running rigging which is totally shagged! When it arrives, I'll have the fun job of making up new ends - I decided to be a proper seaman and not cheat by paying somebody else to make them up!
I've also ordered new blocks for the mainsheet tackle 'cos I can't face another season of putting up with the ancient Tufnel blocks squeaking, sticking and refusing to run :)
This phase of sorting out the rigging will still leave the kicking strap, proposed tack downhaul and the leading blocks and cam cleats for the lines that are led back to the cabin to sort out. I want another look at that whole scenario on the boat before I spend money on bits
We've also got to bite the bullet at some point and sort out the complete mess of cleats etc. on the base of the mast which is a right jumble. The "to do" list never seems to get shorter, does it?
