A family living aboard their boat in a Georgia boatyard faces significant delays and theft while attempting a DIY re-rigging project. After deciding to replace their standing rigging from rod to wire, the owners encounter a dispute with a local rigger over an $850 labor charge for a quote. Shortly after rejecting the rigger's services, the boat's Harken furler drum disappears from the yard. Because the specific furler model is no longer in production, the owners source a used replacement part via an online auction to avoid a $5,000 full-system replacement. The project involves extensive prep work, including removing old halyards, rewiring mast lights, and tightening loose keel bolts discovered under the mast base. The yard owner offers to waive lift fees to compensate for the theft, while the family continues to manage boat maintenance and homeschooling in near-freezing temperatures. The owners plan to install the new rigging and step the mast as soon as the remaining parts arrive from Rigging Only to expedite their departure for the Bahamas.
