Mast Repairs for Sea Puppy Part 4 Re-stepping the mast

Early in the morning I went and cleaned up the roller furling unit and scrubbed the bird shit and pine sap off it from it being stored in pattys back yard for the last year and a half. Soapy water and a kitchen pad was good for the bird poop but it needed a  stainless scraper to get the pine sap off. It looked much better for being scrubbed. I also went up and down the length cleaning out the to luff slots on the foil and ran water at pressure through the length of the furler to wash as much grit and dust out as I could. I then attached the furler and neatened up all halyards, lines and shrouds so it would be ready to carry to the boat and mount. I also sprayed the length of the slots with mclube sail kote.
