 I got my cross piece attached to my mast. I did take it over to the boat and put it in place to measure it and get the angle right. So hopefully it's right. This guy has lots of fiberglass tabs in there now. It should be enough. I'm going to make sure it's pretty secure in there now. I'm going to make sure it cures all the way before I move it because right now it's all lined up perfectly straight and everything. So I'll mess with this tomorrow. Alright, hopefully those poles will keep that from blowing over overnight. I'm going to cross my fingers for no serious wind. Put a few pieces on this side. That should be pretty strong. So this is the mast. It pivots here. I'm going to put three layers of fiberglass up to about here and then I went with two for the rest to leave it a little bit flexible. Because in the event that there's wind changes and things are moving around, I want it to be able to flex a little bit and absorb some of that impact as opposed to snapping off. Although most of the force will be taken by some cables going from the mast down to the back of the boat. I hope. Alright, now that should be strong. I think I put extra layers of fiberglass all in here wrapped up and over and down the sides. Because the sail is going to be on here pushing that way. So these are going to try to pull apart. So that should keep it together. There's like five extra layers on there in addition to what I put yesterday. Everyone's favorite part of fiberglass and cleaning up the edges. We don't need no stinking edges. Alright, pretty good edges. Good enough. Two main components looking pretty good. Now when this thing is up, I'm going to need something to steer it and something to attach cables to that can hook onto here and swivel because that needs to be able to turn independent of the cables coming off it. I can cut a chunk of this off. Put fiberglass around it. Put it on there. I'm not sure if I can make a slit open it up and get it on there or if I'm going to have to make it to two separate halves. I almost put one on here before I put this all together. But I didn't. If this is the top end, I'm thinking I could put my collar there. It can rest against that flange. And if I put this on here, it can rub on this and not get ground down by the fiberglass too fast. PVC on PVC's. Pretty smooth. It should last a long time. I don't think I'm going to be able to slip a piece of this on that easily because it's a lot thicker walled. I guess let me just cut a piece off and see what I can do. I do have a fire right there. I could melt it a little bit enough that I can open it up and then get it on there. Maybe I will do that. But then it's permanently on there because then I'm going to put fiberglass on it and won't be able to get it off. Do I want to be able to get it off or do I want to just put it on permanently? Maybe it will be fine. Spangled grinder. Oh, that is a beautiful fit. Oh wow, I was not expecting that to be that good. I've been thinking about how to do the sail steering. The two leading ideas right now are attached. Something solidly here. It would have to be hinged here so I could pivot when it's closed. But it would just come out and then that would get pushed around. Or I could attach a rope cable whatever there and a rope or cable whatever there and they go back to something that can hold it and they just pull on the ropes to straighten it out or crookedize it or whatever. Right now I'm leaning toward the ropes just because it's simpler. It's lighter. Yeah. I'll just have to make some way to easily attach them back because I'll be sitting right at the back where the ropes would attach. So I'll just have to, I don't know, something. So I might want to reinforce this edge here. Like put a PVC pipe over it and then fiberglass it all in. That would make that real strong. And then I could attach the ropes pretty much anywhere to it then. Putting a pipe on the edge is a pain in the butt. So I just put some extra layers all across there. Well, this morning I reinforced one of my shovels. And then, well, it wasn't breaking yet or anything but, you know, I just wanted to be preemptive. And then I was getting all excited about not working with fiberglass. So now I've got all this stuff to do the stuff to the sail and stuff. Massed, not sail. So already I've put an aluminum pipe here. And I did that because probably what's going to be connected here is the ropes to steer. And I don't want that thing pulling off, ripping out this way. So this will hold them apart. So now everything in the back is nicely triangulated. You know, I've got this piece going straight across. And then those going down at angles and everything's like, yeah. Now, this is something I've been kind of thinking about in the back of my head for a while. I need to make something that will hold the sail in position while it's down. And something that will hold it in position when it's up. And I think I'm going to combine those two things. And you know what? I'm just going to shut up and do it. All right, brain works. Which shape does this need to be? Angle, funny angle. Yeah. Any luck that's aimed right at the camera? It should be pretty good. Oh man, those came out nice. The next thing involves something from the island. Hey, you guys coming with me? Yeah. Cool, let's go. Loading platform there. Oh good, we can still get in even when it's super low tide. Sweet. Okay, I need this mast to stay right above like that. Does anybody know what we could put here to hold it up the side? I could put the circle piece that I cut off here like an idiot. I could put it right back in. Hopefully I can just sink it down a little bit lower. Or is the right size, because there's three of those circles. Can you make it? Now John, wait, don't go down there, you have money. Here, bells, bells, here. Probably should okay. Yeah. You can jump. Hey, check out the citronella grass growing. Let's go get some stuff. Yeah, this is the sail. That's the mold for it, yeah. And the solar panels are going to go on the other side of it. You know, it's upside. Put the what? Oh, the mast, yeah, it goes right through there. All right, we need some circles. Where do we have circles? Well, that one looks pretty good. Let's see. Yeah, grab the one in your hand. This is the one that came off the back, I'm pretty sure. That does not look that conducive to what we need to do. And this kind of has the sticky-outy things. You might be able to use those to tie stuff on there. That'll be useful. Yeah, let's take that one. You know what, we can't attach that until I get the sail in place. Because we have to adjust it to the right height when the sail is on. Well, let's go look how it fits. Can you put that right in place? Yeah, I think that'll be really good. Well, this won't matter, because we're going to cap this. And then rivet it in. And we'll be able to adjust it up and down a little bit. And then we'll have some little ears to... I don't know, what are we going to do with the ears? Maybe those can have something to do with the ropes that come from the steering. Think about that. And then we can rivet this on top of here. And since the mast is the right size to fit in this, it should kind of click right in. And it'll hold itself. When something fits snugly, it'll hold it. Although, the thing that the strings go up to that keeps the mast from falling over, like the stays go up to, that I think might end up right there. So we'll just have to see how it goes.
