Hi Popeye - many thanks for your help; yes it is a Billing, I'll give it an other try and see if it works.

Hallo Popeye: I'm following your log with great interest because you seem to be a much accomplished and experienced builder unlike myself. My current build is also the America, I will include some photos soon. My immediate issue is with mast fittings, specifically the Jib Boom requires four sheets according to the 1:1 plan. If I drill the tip to accommodate the four eyebolts, it will crack. How did solve that issue? A mast ring with four eyelets would be nice if I could only source one.
Your comments will be much appreciated.

Popyey, your sailmaking is true excellence, helped me make the decission NOT rig with sails, simply not in my "skill set".
