After 22 years, the carbon mast finally stood up!

A month in to the F25C trimaran renovation, we take all the good advice from other owners and sort out how to raise a rotating mast on the Farrier trailer tri. Seems it's all about getting the guy-lines pivot points lined up exactly with the mast base pivot. This week we also mold a tunnel for the boat with a concrete shaping tool. How's all that for a confusing video description?

Ian F. would be very proud of your beautiful F-25C work.

Man that looks a good candidate for conversion to a small powered ST winch! Really liking those smaller tri’s as well👌

Love the project, wish I was local so I could come give you a hand.

Could you please show more on the trampoline attachment that you started? Thanks

Mast raising milestone, tube fabrication success, and freeform sewing: Good stuff! It will be interesting how you solve your lifting eye strength concerns. Since the rigging geometry is changing, what is your plan for sails…used, new, custom? Will the main be boomless?

I have a very scruffy version of this boat in a warehouse near Valencia, Spain, and aim to fix it up as best I can to get some sailing in before I retire from the planet. It has the original aluminium mast, which is pretty hefty, and scary to raise single- handed. Any ideas as to who makes suitable 11m carbon fiber mast sections in Europe?

Where do the final chain plate positions for the cap shrouds come from?
