The mast was fabricated by Forespar and they were the original suppliers to BCC. Bill Hanna was the man in charge and proved to be most knowledgable. It took a bit of time to get it all in order. The halyards are internal and there are two mast steps placed at the top for work aloft. I didn't think a full set of mast steps was necessary considering the windage and so on.
There is a separate track for the storm sail lateral to the main track and a radar mount on the forward aspect, conduit is in place for the wires. All the standing and running rigging is in place. Should be a turnkey operation I'll let you know on the big day when it comes out of the box. Stay focussed.
The jib and staysail are both on furlers and will be led back to the cockpit, so should save on deck time, lets hope that Schafer furlers are as good as they say they are.
