Mast & Tiller

This summer has been busy with work around the property and fence building for the horses.  I did find some time to get some work done on the boat.  This update has items done over the last 4-5 months.

In July I was able to arrange a way to haul home the mast for my boat.  Once home, I removed all the old rigging items and have it stored in the shop, ready for the eventual refinishing of the mast (still up in the air on how I will re-finish - clear coat or paint).

I have removed all the teak trim that surrounded the cockpit, I plan on just refinishing the fiberglass.

I was also able to salvage some old growth fir floor planking - I have milled it down and will be using this for the interior fit out along with the cockpit seating.



One of the spar brackets is broken (still have the spar), so will need to have some aluminum welding done.

No Tiller handle came with my boat - time to make one
Completed raw tiller handle (laminated white oak and mahogany planking from my boat that I will not use)
