Our first attempt at installing ducting in the mizzen mast for the antenna cables has failed :-( Time to try a different approach. What do you think?
Both our AIS and WiFi Boost Antennas come from Digital Yacht and we bought ready-made cables from them too. We need the AIS antenna cable to run from the top of the mizzen and the WiFi Boost antenna cable from the middle. To avoid them flapping around in the mast I had riveted a plastic duct to the inside front edge of the mast. Here we see how that failed and what we are trying next.
If you would like to encourage us then we have memberships or donations on Ko-Fi! at ko-fi.com/sust... Note that we receive 100% of all memberships and donations.

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).
Lots more detail on our blog at sustainablesai...
