Bowsprit + Asym furler installed
The long and sweating day... (sang in the tune of the long and winding road...)
First to measure where to install the Bowsprit... then actually do it!
One can not even think the angles and positions where the nimble captain can bend. Amazing. Luckily I got some help from my daughter to keet the screwdriver on the right position outside...
The biggest issue was to saw the bowsprit to the operating length... but in the end the result was very satisfactory.
Setting up the asym furler was much easier. Maybe tomorrow or sunday we can test how the asymmetric spinnaker works with that.
