A big step closer!!!

I've been looking forward to getting her rigged...

I got the mast up and the standing rigging mapped out. I'm using the high tech rope for this task called Dyeema. 3/16" for the stays and 1/8" to lash then and provide tension. This stuff is way easier and lighter than using steel cable and probably no more expensive either.


There are still lots of fiddly bits left to do but I am happy with the rigging so far.


The boom...


The boom gooseneck that Matthew made.


A view up the stick.


It was a hot one today so I'll carry on tomorrow morning hopefully.
