Top Mast Sheave Slot

Today I worked on the sheave slot for the top mast.

It was pretty straight forward although I must admit the instructions really do not address how to locate the optimum fore/aft location for the sheave.

I off-centered the axle location so that the sheave would be slightly forward in the slot to provide a good alignment with the sail track location. I did notice that I have the sheave slightly higher than what the instruction show, but I don't think it's a huge deal since the aluminum strap will keep the halyard in place.



Next step will be to the mast sleeve.

Progress is going to be non existent over the next few weekends due to booked up weekends :(
