Topic : Deck stepping NSM

Ok my seasons midweek racing has now finished and my job pretty much limits my weekend racing so what else to do except moding the boat! having referbed the hull built carbon this & that and rig and sails the only thing left other than building a new hull appears to be decksteping the rig (I know I said I wouldn't!) So has any one out there converted a Rowsell Omega NSM?  And no Mags I don't need your chisels!!!!! Barry.
ps photos always welcome.

Current blocker on my own project is the chandlery bill - I calculated how many single/double/triple ball-bearing blocks I would need, and the total price seemed sky high!

Can anyone post a few figures? I think Andy Hayes (autumn 2003 magazine) said it cost him £300 in total, not including spars.

If you havent got multipull blocks on your shrouds already then £300 is a good estimate
(5 x quad sets @ £60/set) 2x shrouds,2x lowers,1x forestay, puller should be adaptable from mast ram tackle other bits in shed.
