Then cut out two halves Glued and riveted to the gaff The middle rivet holds the tang and lets it swivel. Waiting for a 6” rod to do the last rivet. Holes drilled along side the foremost rivet are for lacing the sail. Leather will finish it off later Picture of the mast cone if anyone is considering it IP: Logged Posts: 262 IP: Logged Posts: 62 IP: Logged All times are ET (US)

Now that spring is here, could the members please take a few moments to take photos of their rigging while their boats are being set up? I would appreciate any and all photos of standing and running rigging that you may have. Thank you all, Steve

Here's a beginning:
There is a real need for additional photos showing detail particularly for gaff rig details. Email photos to info@havenbuilders.com and I will post them on this thread.

Any further photos of the spars, hardware and lines layout for a marconi rig would be greatly appreciated. I am also interested in anyone's inovations as well. Thanks, Stevenext newest topic | next oldest topic
