Some necessary chores, preparing the mast for winter storage and after inspecting the dinghy closer, the handles needed a little love... or love handles? Maybe both.. The masts over the winter get stored off the boat in a racking system for protection from the harsh winter months. All the rigging needs to be wrapped up and the halyards tied up so they don't fall apart over the winter. I can see after inspection that the mast is still in very good shape but the black finish is getting quite weathered.
Going to have to do something about that.
Also our trusty dinghy is starting to leak air and will need some attention.
