Before the repairs: storm damage, temporary repairs in Iceland

 September 2023, halfway on our return to Ireland from Greenland we got caught in a storm. 300 NM SW of Iceland. Winds blowing  NE to Iceland, 90 kts at Iceland. Lots of knockdowns, and once we were upside down, probably to 150 degrees, but not rolled. Main mast broken above spreaders, bowsprit torn off, broken boom etc.




                                           Top 9 ft of main mast broken off. 




                                             Bowsprit gone

I left Teddy at Djupivogur, Iceland, that winter. In 2024 with lots of local help we did temporary but solid repairs.

Then we went around Iceland - Faeroes - Hebrides - home that summer.



Having Teddy back home put me in a good position to do permanent repairs.

Repairs

                                 3 beams, all Douglas fir. The left one was twisted & unusable. The 2 on the right we shortened to 24 ft. Each is 6" x 12". Glued together they will form the upper half of the main mast. To the right on the ground, the main & mizzen masts.                                                  Setting up.        Nick Kottler here. I worked with him 6 & 15 years ago at Hegarty's Boatyard in west Cork. His skill & knowledge level was phenomenal. I asked him to lead the repairs, and he stayed with me for one month.  We reversed the beams - hearts out. An effort to reduce the weakening impact of the knots.                                ...

  Trip.   This year was mostly taken up with permanent repairs. The storm left me feeling uncertain, and questioning whether I still have the heart for offshore cruising. Only one way to find out.    The plan is to go straight to Djupivogur, SE Iceland, a week's sail. A week there, see Skuli about steel repairs, maybe get some of them done & installed. Then head south to the outer Hebrides and NW Ireland, & loiter on our way home. Be a month. If I don't feel OK about Iceland, just skip it, do the outer Hebrides & NW Ireland. Michael Lubitz, of Austin Texas is coming for the whole trip. Some coastal sailing experience. We get on well. I'll post pics of him later. We leave tomorrow morning with the high tide. We plan, as usual, to stop a night at Inishkea North, Mayo, see if  my friend the hermit is there, then jump off.
