rigging prep

Post by Mario G »

I'm about to spash and stay on my 1975 Chrysler C-22 for 4 days, its been out of the water atleast 15 yrs now.

I have spent the last 6 months working on it. really something everyday to get it ready to sail.

Now the rigging question.

What should I do to make sure the mast head and rigging is ready for steping the mast? Should I oil the blocks with something?

I did post this question in my Chrysler group but I think there all out sailing without me.

the only other thing I need help getting prep'ed is the wife...lol

Never oil. It collects airborne dust, which becomes oily mud, which becomes sludge, which causes things to stick.

Dry silicone spray. Sparingly. Quick squirt, spin the block, move onto the next.
