Bow pole running rigging.  The pole is
pulled up by a light line to the deck cleat,
and held down by a piece of covered Amsteel.

First attempt at positioning the net support
poles.  I won't attach them permanently until I have unfolded the boat in the water and measured exactly where they should go.

Positioning the support tubes' sleeves in the
transom.  There are holes drilled through the bottom of the boat to drain the tubes.  After mounting the tubes I filled the bottoms with epoxy and re-drilled the holes.

The mast support tubes sit on bolts through
the sleeves, so they won't wear away at the glass at the bottom of the tubes.

The third, and hopefully final, incarnation
of the "halyard catcher" at the end of the mast raising pole.
