On deck one of the last fitting is welded in place. These handrails will be used for the cuttersail tackpoints until the selftacking track is in place. I need to put the mast and rig on to get the best location and angle of the track.
The goal is to keep the deck so clean as possible. Most sail handleling will be done on deck. Only minor trimming is done from the cockpit: kick and outhaul. I don't like holes into cockpit where swells and rain gets in an dmwetting things. All long and wet lines should stay on deck! And a sailor that is not working on deck is not secure on deck either. The more time spent on deck the safer you are on the occasion (stormy) when you must be on deck.
