Assembling the Rigging
By the time I came around to putting the rigging on it was 2 days before we were to leave on our sailing vacation. As such, I did not take many pictures... okay, I did not take any pictures so all I can do is provide a picture of what it looks like now.
I matched the rigging to as close as the original as possible. There were a few things that could have been improved on however I did not want to risk discovering why things where put where they were so I just duplicated the old rigging.
There were two exceptions. There was a rope in the front and two holes in the side deck that I did not replace since I could not see what they were for and Laura's grandpa could not remember. If I ever need them then I can add the holes at that time.
As of the time of writing this page, I can say we had the boat out on the Okanagan lake where it floated for a week and we sailed it at least 6 times. Everything works.
There is one problem where water appears to be getting in under the floor. Not a lot since after a week in the water the water line was not noticeably higher... but when we pulled it out of the water at the end of the vacation I could hear water under the deck.
I think it is getting in around the centre board. A future project for me.
