After a long run of very stormy weather, and some procrastination, the bent mast is repaired, the Blade replaced and ready to erect.
The Hydrolic Ram System was struggling to lift the mast with the additional weight of the reinforced pipe. When it got to 45 Degrees, it broke in the middle at a weld point. Fortunately no-one was injured. The ladder broke the fall, and the heavy blade I had used to replace the broken one
smashed on the ground, another blade was buried quite deep, but only split and the tail a little bent. No other apparent damage was found. Very Lucky!!
So the mast went back for repair, I had to get some Dutch friends who were visiting the following week to bring wood for a new blade with them, because I could not source any Red Cedar in Cork. I decided to change the lifting method to a Tirfor Winch and Gin Pole which will put less strain on the mast when lifting. So another fitting into the rock for the winch, and more wire for the Gin Pole was fixed up. Here's hoping it works now!
