    Mark.  This is a JUNK.  You don't need to go on deck and you most certainly don't need to go along the lee deck.  If something has gone wrong and you have to go on deck, why would you walk along the lee side, ducking under the sail?  With a well-cambered deck, when the boat is heeling and you walk along the weather side, the deck is almost horizontal!

    Ok, perhaps just  just have bad memories from dealing with sails on pointy rigs!

    Bruno. So lovely to hear from you!  Thank you for your good advice: I shall remember to put a plug in the dinghy and to take it out when I put the dinghy in the davits.  I just hope I remember to out it back in before I launch it! :-D

    Good gardian angel, still nice Marcus smile and very very nice job!

    ( Don't forget to keep access to the dinghy drain valve between the davits if you don't want to carry a bathtub!)

    Phew, you were lucky! That was some wind, you can understand keelboats being knocked off their stands...not everyone ties them down, but lifting a heavy Proust cat whoaa!

    She is really looking amazing, your work is outstanding, I wish I could have such patience.

    One aspect I noted was the very arched deck, looks pretty, gives good headroom,  but does it not make working from the lee deck rather precarious?

    Annie I was just on your blog looking for info on Labrador no less and saw you uploaded a new edition!

    Nice work, that wrap around text problem seems gone now.

    Glad you are OK from that tornado.

    My, what progress on the build.

    Congratulations!

    Many details taking shape quickly now!

    One of the reasons I want a vertical vane is that I have sailed with both.  When the sheets tangled the vertical vane, attached to a trim tab, the vane would spin round and the sheets slip off.  With a horizontal vane, they stayed tangled.  It is worth running a line from the weight to the base to discourage the sheets from tangling in the first place.
