Well it’s been a couple of weeks since my last update, here goes- I’ve been doing a lot of that sitting and pondering as to what should be done next without actually doing anything, its called procrastination! Anyway the reality was I had hit an impasse, I got over it by doing parts that should be done later in the build. I began with the fairleading post shown in p29-p31, a simple little part consisting of a post and a sheave. As you can see it did have the small problem of cutting the angled slot in the post for the sheave to sit in, but in the end was simply accomplished by pencilling the slot on the piece and then chain drilling with a .5mm drill bit. Once done some fine wet and dry opened the slot to the correct size, the sheave is a commercially available item that I bought plenty of to complete the finished boat. This post is situated to the port side and slightly abaft of the main mast, the cleat on the post takes the topsail sheet around it before belaying to a cleat on the aft side of the mast.
