Log of Alberg 30 #262 on 22 June 2025


Endpoints: Yacht Haven Annapolis to Yacht Haven Annapolis
Purpose: Replace Genoa Halyard Block
Complement: Yoni Bresler

  • Installed Ronstan RF41100 40mm single swivel block for the genoa halyard to replace a Harken 38mm Big Bullet Block — Shackle that lost its sheave.
  • Removed ten year old padded covers at the ends of the spreaders. Installed a second pair of Harken Sail Chafe Protector ; center drilled out to 5/16". There are now a pair above the spreader, installed 2020-07-21, and a pair below the spreader held up with zip-ties.
  • Problems using the Beal Jammy during the descent. Having wrapped it four times around both lines passing through the ATC Guide , it would seize tightly, at times preventing me from being able to slide it downn the lines.
