Thank you for posting this video. I just had my mast unstepped yesterday to replace the rig and part of my plan is to run internal halyards and add conduit for the electrical this video is exactly what I needed to see. How can I make a wire tool to hold the conduit like the one you used?
I enjoy your videos.. knowing nothing about rigging, I'm seeking out whatever info I can find - so these, although maybe not pertinent to exactly my needs - do give me confidence to forge ahead. I can pick up bits. Starting on carbon spreaders next. Still up is trying to figure out how to get a hound for a rotating, fractional rig and the step. I'm not a welder. I'm up in very rural Alaska so no local knowledge. Thanks again.
What is your pro tip to replace an old wind sensor cable with a new wind sensor cable in the conduit? How do you connect the new cable, with a NMEA connector, to the old cable so that it's small enough to slide all the way through the conduit? The mast is a ~65 foot Z-spar installed on a Lagoon 450 catamaran? Thank you in advance
Attach a tag line to existing/old wind transducer cable. Pull the old cable out with the tag line, then use the same tag line to pull the new cable in. Can go smoothly, but it’s a boat project anything can happen. 😊

Thanks for your your video. I was wondering how conduit was installed in masts.
Aloha
