RSB Rig Pro unstepped the 35 meter wing mast onboard Orion; a 30 meter Katana catamaran earlier this week.

The unstepping procedure went as planned however there were a few tense moments when the wind picked up as the mast was lifted and started acting as a wing, threatening to lift the boys on the tag lines with it. The mast will remain on the ground while the boat undergoes a refit carried out by BM Composites over the winter months.
