Working on Sails

The last several days, well, ever since I got the main sail for the boat I've been working on two smaller sails.  The main needs to be re-stitched so I'm practicing sewing on the older sails.  They both had heavy cable edges and I'm removing it and putting soft rope.  Then I'm re-inforcing the grommets where you fasten the sail.

Well, now that I have the sail finished I'm going to need a new sail bag to store it in.

This is me making the sail bag.  Once I start sewing more for the boat I'll build a big table for my machine.  For now this little table works just fine.

Not bad for my first sail bag, huh

Kemp Boom

04/04/2014 ... 8 months ago I choose today for lauch day ... clearly that's not happening, but it was a very special day for the boat.  I went to San Diego and picked the boom for the mast.  I spent the late afternoon fitting the gooseneck fitting.  I know, it's still all laying horizontal but at least it's together.  It's a Kemp Boom with a single line reefing system for 3 reefing points.
Thanks Rig Works of San Diego.
