Stepped the Mast ...

For the first time in about 30 years the mast on Chasing Summer, a Spencer 42, hull # 17 has the mast standing proudly on it's deck.  As you recall the boat was abandon for almost 25 years with the mast laying on dollies.  After building new spreaders, running electrical conduit inside the mast, and installing and navigation lights the mast was ready to be stepped on the deck.  A few days ago the crane arrived and after a few hours ... well, it finally looks like a real sailboat ready to go to sea.
