Solo round the world yachtsman Alex Thomson performs a daring feat on board his high-speed yacht, HUGO BOSS. Thomson climbs up the 30-metre high mast of the moving vessel and dives into the ocean.
This is not the first stunt we've seen from Thomson. Two years ago he completed The Keel Walk, a stunt which has become famous across the world. Watch the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2PQfJ2SAg4

Dragon Mast erection using tripod
This is the standard method of erecting ( or dropping ) a mast on the Dragon using a tripod ( we call them sheerlegs).
As can be seen it is easy and safe by two people .
Important is that the boat is head to wind ( bow facing the wind direction ) if the wind is strong .
Also important that the two side legs are fixed to the trailer or boat during the process . The rope from the bottom of the side legs achieves this .
Before dropping the tripod we recommended attaching the forestay , deck level mast ram and backstay, with a small tension on the backstay .

Fixing Avocet | Rebuilding our Mast
Through every refit we have become more familiar with Avocet’s design and layup, touching nearly every inch of the boat in the process, but there was one final piece that was left mostly untouched by us - the mast. We had already done a bit of rig work prior, fabricating all-new chainplates and replacing our cap shrouds but we knew there was much more to be done. From the records we have, our mast was installed in 2004, but it was showing signs of wear and beginning to fail in crucial areas such as the shivs. So, back to the boatyard, we went with tools in hand for a relatively quick but major upgrade.

Climbing the Mast Solo! ( single handed sailing )
Welcome to "Captain`s Learning Log." Before I bought Wahine, I had many fears. Two of them were of going below and under, and the other was going above and over. The ATN Mastclimber helped me conquer one of those fears, and it enables me to go up alone, which I have now done countless times. They are not a sponsor, but I do recommend you check them out. I bought mine on defender.com as they were a tad cheaper than West Marine. But plan on spending the best part of 500 USD. I filmed this while on my ten day cruise and while at dock in Shimoda. More of that trip to come.
