This time we learn a whole new skill, leather sewing! Cutting out the leather, fitting it, and finally sewing it around the mast. Making lots of mistakes (and friends!) along the way...
If I recall correctly leather shrinks a bit as it dries, so as you're drying out from your first capsize the leather bits should tighten up even a bit more :)
Nice, looks real tidy.. where did you source your epoxy's and fibreglass cloth from? I priced up roughly what i need online from an aussie boat supplier and for a 30mtr by 1mtr roll of 6ounce cloth they want more than it would cost to buy a registered 26ft trailer sailer ready to sail lol (i checked gumtree and found a few cheaper than the quote haha)
@@dana_pike ahh great to know, im only a few hrs away from the act and drive through often ( usually buying cars haha) yeah tbh the expensive brands of epoxy ive found to be actually reasonably priced inc delivery , so looks like ill be using hi grade epoxy's and evilbay cloth haha, thanks heaps mate..
