little jobs

The great thing about bronze is that you can bury it in the ground, leave it at the bottom of the sea, or in the open air, come back after 3000 years and it is as good as new. Museums are full of it.

Anyway, here is an old rod of bronze (of course not that old!) that I made a thread on. It will hold the spinnaker pole cup to the mast.

Also -

There are the headsail tracks and jarrah handrails cleaned of paint and on their way to being cleaned up.

I made a solid mahogany outboard bracket, nicely capped much in the same way as our doghouse doors.

I've also started scraping away paint that needs to be redone.
