Engine

Rig
Sloop twin spreader fractional. Would love to say that we have a nice Seldèn rig with parts that are good quality and actually obtainable in Scandinavia. But unfortunately we have the stock standard run of the mill Zspars and all the painful issues that come with it.
2018 -Installed a inner forestay and changed out the backstays with a Selden backstay adjuster. Installed dyneema running backs, installed and reinforced chainplates.
2019– All remaining standing rigging was replaced prior to the Atlantic crossing

In 2018 we built a new instrument panel under the spray hood to have it all in the same spot in a protected area. This has made our lives a lot easier on passages and we are super pleased with this decision.
