Almost done with my solent stay
In Response To: Wednesday is PHOTO DAY! ()

I've been adding components piecemeal over the past two seasons. Just finished fabricating and installing the tie rod assembly to connect the deck fitting to the hull. All that's left is to install a rope clutch on the mast to free up the winch for the solent halyard and replace the solent stay turnbuckle I have been using with a Johnson handy-lock turnbuckle.

The photo shows the tie rod assembly (left), the outside of the bow fitting (center), and the stay and halyard fittings at the top of the mast (right).
