Knitting completed


I am happy with my sheeting endless loop now.. cut the remaining sheets to length, and threaded through the sheet guides to the sliding clamps, and secured with a knot.

All tested and seems to work perfectly :)

That said ... having never used this method of sheet control, it takes a while for "the penny to drop" and understand how the system works..

Once thats mastered, you wonder what all the fuss was about !


Next up is the metal work... the masts and booms.. Section 17 .

I need to study the plans and instructions, in the two masts, there are around 25 holes to be drilled, many different diameters, some even angled... my pillar drill will soon see some action !
