Hats of to Kevin indeed. It has been a fascinating story to follow and happy to read such a grand finale. Thank you for sharing to tale.

I too am interested in this cover.

Stepping a mast while it is in the water seems like a challenge for all involved, but I could be wrong as I am a newbie.

I imagined it might be slow going, but what a surprise it was when I came to a standstill. This is why I a...

Thanks to all whom have replied.

Though I now have a few months to further consider my options, I like the ...
