Not a lot happening at the moment.
Spreaders will be ready to be picked up from the welders Tuesday (Tomorrow), yeah good old aluminium spreaders. I thought long and hard about the carbon option but thought f%$k it they are going on an aluminium mast anyway.
My new best friend Tokyo--TTB--donated the other half of his spinnaker pole to my cause yesterday (mothers day) and two of his old spinnakers ( he knows my finances are ridiculously tight for this build and every bit of help counts)-----IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT, not only have I found the entire i550 group incredibly supportive and knowledgeable but to give vital parts away to other builders just goes above and beyond the call of duty.
Thanks again Tokyo, come here let me give that bearded face a big wet kiss!
Arrrrrr yeah oh ok maybe a little much hey???
Mast is booked in to get standing rigging started/ finished this weekend coming and the measurements for the jib/main sail are also being done this weekend. Thanks to TTB we don't need to worry about financing a new spinnaker for a while.
