135LP genoa, Interrupt mainsail.

Very few power boats for Memorial Day weekend.

Prior to sailing:

Bent on the Interrupt mainsail. Need to install the first reefing line. Done 2020-06-10
Fully slacked the headstay using the Selding rigging screw and reversed the clevis pin so that the cotter pin is aft and partly shielded by the stem.
Installed the drum on the roller furler.
Bent on the 135LP genoa.
Secured the lower section of each shroud turnbuckle with a zip-tie. We'll see how this works.

Had Leah drive nearly the whole trip. Focused on driving actively, guiding the boat, rather than wondering why it keeps turning. Reviewd port vs starboard tack several times.

Boat seems to have less weather helm. Leeward uppers go slack. Need some tightening. Currently at 28-30 on the Loos Gauge. Overall, appears that replacing the standing rigging was successful.
