Mizzen....

Glued up the mizzen yesterday (could not sort out my computer yesterday enough to do the update), a lot of glue in a short period of time. Luckily my mother is here and could help me sort things out....

Dry fit

All the pieces in place

The bottom end

Also made a futile attempt of straightening the main mast staves by a primitive steam box, towels ht water and garbage bags

Bottle weights

Tried the spars with the sails, decided to replace the 36mm solid mizzen sprit for a cut of broomstick....

The main

Time today: 2 h
