This is about 3rd or 4th year High at Taroona, the best rugby team in the State. I guess 1971 or 1972, I was 14 or 15 years.
This is half way up the Inca mast, looking up, toward and underneath the down light (deck light). It sits underneath the next light (down one) and works fine. May as well buy a new clobe, and make it LED if feasible.
I didn't unscrew this cover, but can easily with a small phillips head. In it is a globe, simple enough and can probably be done in LED. Will try to get one, if advised.
At the top of the mast. This wind vein tells the direction of wind. it seems to have a snub nose. I wonder if it is rooted?
This is one of a pair off at about 30 degrees, from the cockpit they help divine whether we are going in the right direction. The red metal flat piece is OK on one, but missing from the other. Need to procure a replacement.
This is the wind vein that usually sits between the two red metal pieces
Right on the top, this is the mast head light, not working. I moved the cover, and it opens, no screws. The globe seems OK. We should test it, and replace with LED, but if it is OK, there must be a fault in the lines. Need a tradesman with a multimeter to chase down the issue if that is the case.
Happy and smiling on the roof of the world. Trusting in Justin down below.
Here he is now, see the Black at the helm?
I took the cover off the mast head light. You can see the power lines in, and the cowling for the globe to fit/screw into. All seems OK>
Ditto.
The main uphaul black goes up through this mast head but has been wrapped around the rope holding the back of the boom. I've adjusted it down at the helm, and we need to ensure we take the black rope down the port side when moving it to affix to the top of the main sail.
Corona. Delivered to my door by a friend. Best put it in the fridge to get cold and destroy any virii.
