The rig assembly has begun. We have plenty of work to do. Today we got the spreaders on and part of the shrouds connected. Tomorrow we will check and adjust the spreader angle and continue to assemble the rest of the rig. The bowsprit is on the boat, painted and looking great. We will continue to work on everything and probably step the rig on Saturday. I’ll get some pictures up tomorrow.

About Bella Mente
The original Bella Mente Racing campaign kicked off in 2006 with Key West Race Week, and since then owner and skipper Hap Fauth has had three additional racing yachts in the program.
Launched in September of 2018, the current Bella Mente is a Maxi 72 designed by Botin Partners in Spain and built by New England Boatworks in Rhode Island.
