The gaff and the boom    October 2011

The gaff and the boom are made out of two lengths of Oregon glued together. The sail groove is routed in before gluing.

The claws for both spars are from the original design and is mandatory  for the gaff. The boom is allowed to be fitted with a conventional swivel goose-neck.  I am going for the original design, may be to be modified later. See how it goes.

Note the locating pin to make sure the half circle grooves  line up perfectly when glued up.
