    Progress continues.. 70 hours in so far. Looking to get the mast up this weekend and check leads so re-enforcements can be added while there is access. Probably not a bad idea to get the pressure washer out..
    Lot's of fidoodling with the sliding tubes.. Tried several different options and materials and clearances. Going with plywood rings \ bushings laminated with 4 oz glass riding on sdry silicone spray. So far the build is going quite smoothly (touch wood). Hoping to be sailing in under 100 hours of build time.

    I think it'd take me 70 hours to fab the beam strapping.

    <sigh>

    good going, I'm just jealous
