Installing AIS and WiFi Antennas on our Mizzen Mast: DIY Boat Refit

Описание: Our Mizzen Mast needs a lot of love before we can put it up, So while waiting for my new Router to make the Mark III Tangs I have been working on the two antennas.

This has been a journey of discovery. I needed to fit a duct in the mast, - never done that before. I needed to rivet to the mast - never done that before. The list of never done that before just kept growing.

Both our AIS and WiFi Boost Antennas come from Digital Yacht and we bought ready-made cables from them too.

We are changing all the standing rigging on our 1977 Rival 38 to Dyneema synthetic rigging. That includes all shrouds, stays and even the chainplates for both masts of our ketch rig.

We are refitting a 1977 Rival 38 for a Sustainable Sailing retirement in a few years. Three years ago, when we bought Vida she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).
