    Doing some progress with sails bending , mounting the yards and running riggings. Unfortunately run out of 4mm blocks. Just ordered and waiting for them to arrive. During this fase I learned a lot about sails and for the next project I will have a different approach. I will sew the bolt rope and the clew patches onto the sails, and I will use a different method for the bending.
