Pac Cup Inspection

The Pac Cup inspection is over!  We did great with one minor item and one major item we need to fix.  The minor item is a little questionable but is easy to fix so why argue.  We have several things on the back of the boat for Man Overboard recovery.  All but one have a light attached and the inspector told us everything needed a light.  We don't NEED to have the unlighted item to meet the requirements but since we have it we may as well put a light on it.  

The other item is a little bigger.  One of the requirements is that the mast be attached to the mast step so in case of catastrophe the mast isn't swinging around inside the boat.  We had no idea what to do for this requirement so we asked the yard to do it while the boat was there in January.  They said it was taken care of and since we didn't know what to look for we took their word for it.  According to the inspector it is NOT done but he did give us a few ideas for how to do it.  We are hoping we can take care of it this week and show it to him in Monterey this weekend after the Spinnaker Cup.

I still intend to take and post photos to show all the work we have done on the boat.
