A carbon mast is stepped on a 27-foot trimaran for the first time in over 20 years using a custom-built gin pole and a four-to-one purchase system.1:08 The mast rotation is temporarily locked with carbon plates and wingnuts to ensure stability during the lift.0:16 With the rig standing, measurements are taken for new synthetic cap shrouds and a forestay.3:02 Deck hardware is reconfigured to accommodate a new forestay position, requiring a complete redesign of the jib sheeting layout.3:48

Additional structural work includes vacuum-bagging fiberglass over cockpit seat backs and fabricating a six-inch diameter storage tube for emergency gear using a concrete piling form, plastic wrap, and wax.5:11 Inspection of the hull-to-deck joint reveals daylight gaps and insufficient tabbing on a major bulkhead, necessitating further structural reinforcement.10:43 The project also includes repurposing an old bimini into a custom spinnaker deck bag with a concealed zipper and mesh drainage.11:40 The owner plans to return to Mexico to continue refitting the 39-foot trimaran, *Ravenswing*.11:08
