Paid help wanted this week with running rigging at Levington - splicing, mousing

[Sjk1000]

Hi all

I'm looking for someone that can help me replace some of the running rigging on our Westerly Conway. I've done some of the jobs before but not on this scale and I'm not entirely sure I have the tools for it, and I know I don't have the time to trial-and-error my way through it over the next few weeks. We have 3 sail bags of rope of varying quality, and I'll have to buy anything else we're short of from Evolution Riggings at Levington

The jobs are:
Replace mizzen sheet - eye splice and thimble
Rejoin continuous furling line
Replace main halyard - eye splice and thimble
Replace main topping lift - eye splice and thimble
Replace mizzen halyard - eye splice and thimble

.... and anything else we can do to brighten the boat up with the rope we have.

I reckon there's about 3-4 hours work and and I'll be there to help. Happy to pay £30 / hour for your time.

I'm free all week apart from Tuesday 22nd. PM me and I'll give you a call.
Thanks, Steve

I use Selden halliard knots these days, easy to end for end then

Me too, but you will need a sharp knife to remove them.

I'd be very happy (and qualified) to help you. At your suggested rate of £30 ph though I'd imagine Richard at Evolution would be able to assist. Happy to help if you get stuck.....
