Fitting the bow sprit

In order to provide the best fit, epoxy was added to the hole in the sprit for the knuckle on the bow, this was hardly required as the pole was almost perfectly central and snug when we placed it on the boat.  The pole will now go back to Tim Coombe for final finishing. It should look great when it's complete!

(The cling film in the photo is to stop the epoxy sticking to the boat)

    1. Indeed it dips at the bow to keep the clew and tack of the genoa as close to the deck as possible.
