Hi
Minnie's preparations for this year are going well and I am now looking at the rigging for the bowsprit. I will need to raise the bowsprit on my mooring so want it quickly released/fastened. I am also considering using the bowsprit for mast raising/lowering as documented by Dennis.
My query. The heel fitting (hinge) moves significantly on the end of the bowsprit.
It has a screw from each side which I think is normal?
But when raising the bowsprit the forward end of the hinge fitting drops away from the bowsprit.
I assume this isn't normal? I guess its not an enormous issue for housing on my mooring but I would want to fix it in place if I use it for mast raising.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
