Salt & Tar: Episode 54-Finishing Our Main Mast

The mast project took just about 2 weeks to complete. We wanted to move quickly as renting the space was adding up daily. We get the mast rounded and add the hounds which are where our shrouds are attached. We've got about a month before we are hoping to haul Rediviva out to step the masts and finish her rig. We also want to lay deck planking, freshen up her bottom paint, fully complete the bulwarks and if we have time shape her a bowsprit. This haul out should be the last of the BIG projects!!! Sails still to come and then installing her systems. Oh yeah :D
Getting close!
Thanks for watching
