Light at the end of the tunnel... Mast gets started!

A lot has been going on while waiting for all the various bits for the rig to come together... Sorting out the new sail plan with Mark Smaalders and deciding to beta test the Simplicity rig for "So It Goes". Then sitting and waiting for stuff like epoxy, glass, carbon, kevlar, and the all important Dynex Dux for the rigging. It's all here and Thunderbirds are GO!

Of course, the hardest part of the whole exercise was finding a place to actually build the mast and now that is taken care of I can actually get to doing and build the sucker! It will be nice having "So It Goes" a proper sailboat again...

That said, building the mast will be cutting into the blogging a bit so for the next couple of weeks expect sporadic and just a bit more half-assed than the norm (as if that is possible...).

More soonish come...
