Work aloft on
radar antenna


Prior to the winter layup in November 2003, I removed the radar antenna and sent it to Furuno for replacement of the antenna drive motor. The following photos were taken in the spring of 2004 when I went aloft to reinstall the radome.

Radome resting on the foredeck and attached
to the spinnaker halyard as I get into the bos'n chair
and prepare to go aloft



The men behind the scenes who are
providing the muscle to hoist my 200 lbs
up the mast



Up, up and away



Finally at working height I wrestle the
radome into position to remount it



Bolting the radome mounting brackets to the mast



With the work aloft complete I signal
the crew below to lower me to the deck
