So much to share, so much sailing to do

Many ups and downs these days. So much going on just no time to post, and lot of pics and new stuff comming. I have ha the standard rig (jib and main) up and going for a while now. My first time out by my self it really took me for a ride and ended up fracturing the mast. Lesson from that was that the first glass job I did was not strong enough and that I drilled the pin hole wrong it should of been through the popular staves not the cedar staves. It was the cedar stave on the sail track that fractrured just to much down pressure. Easy fix sand old fiberglass off put down new the second was much better than first try. The first time I did my typical glass install wet out work with epoxy lay glass down then fill any dry areas. The second time i switched to laying out glass on clear plastic food rap taped down to scrap ply wood carefully rolled out epoxy with squeegee wetting glass out then light coat of epoxy on mast the the glass hit one side using the glass weight as its own raping power and did two raps. This truned out to be a beautiful job that holds out to be much stronger. Much more to come!!
