It is the time of year for rig inspections. Here, we are aloft in the beautiful Inner Harbor of Baltimore, Maryland. This trip aloft was courtesy of a Lewmar Electric Winch, what more could you ask for, going up!? On second thought, we could have used a bit more sunshine, but “beggars can’t be choosers.”…
Ahhh a beautiful day to begin the Spring. Aloft in Maryland’s Capital, with a great view of the Chesapeake Bay, the U.S. Naval Academy and downtown Annapolis. Today makes me look forward to some spring sailing, a good steady moderate breeze with flat water. Just how we like it on the bay. Today’s trip was for a mast and…
Well it has certainly been a while, but today’s excellent weather prompted another segment of “Views From Aloft”. This being the first climb of the year, all things considered, went pretty well. Sean and I argued a bit about who would get to ‘go up’ and how it just isn’t safe to send someone my size up…
It is that time of year. Here we have another one of our FREE visual safety inspections. Another beautiful day (as we only like to climb masts when it is nice out ;-)) and definitley one of our most beautiful ‘Views From Aloft’. This is a very nice Mason 44 – love these boats. Thanks…
I guess this time of year we go aloft a lot, because I sure have been aloft a lot. Can anyone tell me what shore this is? We have certainly been to this place before but not down at this end. How about, which marina is this? This was one of our standard FREE inspections….
Just another day at the office. Here I had to go aloft to take a perfectly good internal halyard that went to a brand new rope clutch and make it external. Don’t ask me why, it is just what the customer wanted. As we always say “as long as it is safe and functional”, it is…
Here we had to go aloft to conduct a rigging inspection after a lightning strike. We installed a new 15″ Windex and tang. Spec’d some new Lazy Jack blocks and a new anchor light bulb. ……….. ……nice n’ easy. Okay, can anyone guess where we are? Other than aloft on a sailboat mast of course;-0) It was…
Here we had to go aloft to replace an external boom topping lift as the rope had slipped the sheave and jammed. This caused the cover of the rope to become separated. What creek is this? I can tell you that it is in Annapolis, Maryland. What kind of boat is this? Click on the pictures for…
Okay, guess where………….. Leave a comment below if you know where this is…….. This is a tough one but if you guess the type or style of boat, then……….YOU WIN!
…..is what we will call this new category. It is very simple I take pictures every time I go aloft and share them. So here you go. Today’s aloft mission was to install back stay insulators for a single side band, install a new sta-sail stay furler complete with runners. Check out our gallery for more…
