Rig up!

Today we made 2 rudder heads, tillers, and put the mast cup in. Then we raised the mast and I had to figure out all of the shroud lengths, making sure the rake was right with a level, and also checking the tension. Then I pushed up the sail. Tomorrow we should get 545 sprayed on it and hopefully I will sail it next week.

Update

We've made great strides in the last couple of weeks. Fairing is almost done, rudder head mould is complete, rig is here, and the boom is almost done. We will Make the rudder heads this week and finish aligning the boards so the boat can be measured.
