Arthur and the original pit set up.
Old School: A winch for each halyard and 8:1 vang with SS wire.
New School: 12:1 vang with Dyneema line lead to both sides of the cabin top.
Just mocking it up.
Halyard clutches and 2 winches instead of 3.
We taped over the holes to protect the balsa wood core from any moisture.
The tools of the trade.
Every battery drill I came across was dead, so I used this beast.
Using templates Cody made, I could accurately drill holes for the new hardware.
The view from Furthur's dry slip.
Dry, golden brown balsa core.
Each hole was taped from below and filled with thickened epoxy injected from a syringe. The holes for all the bolts were drilled over-sized, then the correct size holes will be drilled through the epoxy plugs. This creates a water proof barrier between the bolt and core to keep the core dry and strong.
