7th April

Tacked onto starboard for sanding the stbd topsides.  Sanded maybe 1 third but ran out of sandpaper.  No point wearing my arms out with blunt sandpaper so stopped sanding and started playing with my lathe.

Preparing some POM (Delrin) for making fittings for Dyneema connection to the mast for when I experiment with synthetic rigging.  Also got to make bearings for wind vane experiments.

Lathe work done and now got to cut in half at the correct angle and remove the end where it was mounted in the lathe then drill through for the mounting bolt.  

Going shopping tomorrow then back to sanding.
