fitting sails.

returned from sunny wodonga on tuesday. wednesday and thursday spent laceing the sails to the yards and attaching sheets, vangs, clewing up lines and brailles.

decided to have the main course clewed up and brailled.

have been looking for something suitable to make a figurehead from. found a small model doe deer in a toyshop in a little gold mining town near wodonga. cut the head off, painted it gold and filled in highlights in black and bobs your uncle, a golden hind!!
