Bowsprit replacement (chapter 9) Almost done

Post by Ron Turner »

My goal was to have forestay reconnected by spring. Almost made that so I am happy. Had some concern that bobstay might be too short with Bowsprit raised slightly. I had forgotten how much of the turnbuckle was used. But all is well. Still glassing in the backing plate to stem. So I'll call a halt to this series of postings and go sailing instead. :D :!:

Nice job, Ron. Now that I know there's an expert in town, let's do lunch sometime...on Mintaka, of course!
