More rigging

I made good progress on reinstalling the forestay inside the Harken Roller Furling unit foils.





New topcap with toggle ready to be hauled back up the mast.




Test installation of the Norseman swagless fitting.  I still need to take the fitting off, trim the lower foil then reinstall the foil, torque tube and then permanently install the Norseman.

Next, the head stay - longer and heavier!

    I love Norseman fittings. I replaced all of my Endeavour rigging years ago with a good cable cutter some silicone and a couple of wrenches.

    I ended up cutting the wire with my Makita right angle grinder and a cutoff wheel. Nice clean cut. Hope to finish installing the rest of the lower furling unit early next week then on to the forestay.
