Day 131: Mackay Marina
Sorted out the main. This sail came with the boat but the battens were trashed. I got our sailmaker to supply new ones and assumed that the mast-end would be held in the cars by pressure from the aft ties. Not so. They worked their way out and cause some minor damage to the sail. I drilled through the cars and battens, and put in a screw + nyloc nut to hold the forward end in.
