Cloudy and 63 degrees. NW wind, light at 5mph, flood tide. Testing the new main and jib halyard. The jib halyard is now a single line with new block replacing the two piece halyard. The longer halyard allows for lower dousing of the jib on foredeck! The main halyard remains two piece with wire sections through the mast head. New position for the inter stay - now located on a new deck plate that is 10” aft of the outer stay deck plate per Ranger 20 bulletin. Noticeably better stability!
