Sam and Jessica replace the standing rigging on their keel-stepped mast aboard *Adventure Can't Wait* to correct excessive mast pre-bend and forestay sag.Watch The existing forestay length prevented proper furling of the jib, while the backstay tension caused the masthead to bend aft, creating an inefficient mainsail luff curve.2:11 To perform the replacement, they support the mast using halyards attached to chainplates, working on one stay at a time.1:19 They install Sta-Lok mechanical fittings by unraveling the outer wire strands, inserting the core into a compression cone, and tightening the fitting until it seats.7:38 During the process, they discover a disintegrated cotter pin, highlighting the importance of regular rig inspections.13:09 To replace the forestay, they use a "Chinese finger trap" technique to pull the new cable through the existing furler foils by connecting it to the old wire.15:42 They leave extra thread on the turnbuckles to account for initial cable stretch.11:51
