One TINY Mistake: Now we're STUCK! [EP 114] - How to replace your forestay - Almost
In this weeks episode we take the Falcon dockside here in Carriacou, Grenada to tackle one of the last parts of our DIY rigging overhaul, the forestay. After some interesting maneuvering to get alongside the dock and some confusion amongst the line handlers, we got the boat all tied up. We then immediately got to work dropping down the roller furler tube in order to remove and replace the forestay housed within. Our first hiccup was the all too common problem of a seized and (subsequently) threaded grub screw between the furler extrusions. Thanks to a helpful passerby who happened to have the exact equipment we needed, we quickly solved that problem.
Thinking that was the last of our problems, the job continued smoothly until the last step... re-installing the Sta-Lok fitting on the forestay. It was about here that everything went pear-shaped and a 1mm error in measurement derailed the entire job and delayed our departure by weeks...
Feel a bit defeated, we went back out to anchor to wait for new rigging to be sent to us. Our silver lining was that even though we couldn't fix our forestay, we picked up our trusty old stays'l from the sail maker who repaired the tear... We're still one step closer to getting outta here and on the water again!
