acaron41120 Posted Monday at 05:54 PM #1 Posted Monday at 05:54 PM As the subject line asks, is there any support tool to hold the bowsprit at the proper angle? Home made or purchasable? I need something to hold it at the proper angle while I tie it secure.

Solution Gregory Posted Monday at 07:33 PM Solution #3 Posted Monday at 07:33 PM I would make a template from the plans then use it to make a brace with some scrap.

acaron41120 Posted Monday at 07:58 PM Author #4 Posted Monday at 07:58 PM Never thought of that. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. I have some scrap plywood that I can use to make this tool. Thanks.
