25 th July

A few hours in the workshop.  Sails missing so taking a guess for the masthead halyard block hoist.  Not too complicated as not going for a boom topping lift halyard.  Too many strings from the top of the mast are a pain in the ass.  A topping lift could be a spare main halyard in a push though.

Going to try make one of these new fangled boom kicking strap support lift gismos.   (Im getting old but the new wipper snappers have some good ideas)

The last of the holes drilled through the deck for the handrails.  Need to buy  8 longer bolts for the center line fixings as they go through  2 layers of deck ply along the centreline.

Next job is to remove all the work I have done and epoxy seal all the through holes drilled to seal the ply edges and can then finally fix it all into position.

Launch date is finalized !!!!!  It will be on the First.  ....... (opportunity)
