Yes Keith, our tv is about 10 years old and works fine but our adult children keep telling us that we need to replace it with something new and that eventually it won’t be compatible with new technology. That I don’t even want! Rick

Too sad, too true!! I too crossed the Rubicon ( turned 70) last June and I greatly dislike having to purchase something because it’s new and up to date when the item I’m replacing works fine. Rick

I’ve been working on the Mizzenmast topmast, cap and top for the last month or so. The process has been slow due to the fact that the solid hull version of this kit does not come with any laser cut pieces and the plans only show the mainmast with the measurements for the mizzen and for mast also given which then have to be converted to scale. Plenty of opportunity for error so there is constant checking of my math which is often faulty! Once again, the books and plans for Young America by EdT have been invaluable even though the dimension for YA are larger than the Flying Fish. I decided to place bands on the mizzen. These were made of .005 brass sheet as I could not find copper sheet thin enough. I made the tops as described by EdT. I decided to leave the planking natural as I liked the contrast to the white mast and top. Both the futtock band and the truss band were made and slipped on the mast prior to attaching the mast cheeks. I used the max diameter of the mast for the diameter of the bands and this fortunately worked well. Futtock shrouds we’re glued into holes in the futtock band and the stem in the truss band actually works Am currently adding blocks, battens and bolsters.
