Phil, delighted to hear of the progress with Shoe String. What kind of sail
plan do you have? JB can very likely handle the extra 7 sq. ft. of canvas,
but you may find it rather challenging to hold to windward in those interior
Arkansas lakes like Ouachaita. The heavier mast may be a good idea. I'll be
on mast #3 for my June Bug's 3rd summer. Hope you're still planning to come
to NS this summer. If so, do let me know of your travel plans.
Yesterday I started laying out a Gypsy, literally under my June Bug. My
little work shop is also storage shed for two canoes and Bee-Held (my June
Bug). She's hung from the rafters, with about 1.5" clearance over my head. I
gently caress her each time I stand up to get the kinks out of my back from
marking out the Gypsy's pannels. Plan to have the Gypsy ready for the Mahone
Bay Wooden Boat Festival.
My wife and two younger daughters just left Nashville this morning for the
long drive home. They'll tell me about the wonderful weather you're probably
having. Today is the first day in the last week I could let the wood stove
go out (grrr!)

4-sided and then 8-sided the mast today. I am departing from
Bolger's plan and am building a round mast of 2.5" diameter at the
partner for a couple of reasons. My sail area is 66 sq.ft. instead
of 59, am using construction grade douglas fir with a sprinkling of
small tight knots, and I desire to reserve the right to install a
halyard in the future.
Remembering my former life using a block plane, it was good to
produce mountains of shavings with the Bosch power planer --
apologies
to Chris Crandall. The rudder assembly is constructed, the grommet
setting dies and dacron lines arrived from Sailrite.
It is quite a novelty here in inland Arkansas for anyone to be
building a wooden boat, sailboat no less, and they ask, "Are
going to build your mast too? Won't it be too heavy? How are you
going to lift it?" And what is so peculiar is the comment, "You
know, you can put a motor on that ...." But the individual gets a
blank-eyed stare as I explain "why, no, I can not put 'a motor on
that.'"
