this year we thought we'd try a bit harder for the christmas parade,and build a multimast, "big yacht" ,then sail it down the main street. we're banking on it being an easterly,so we dont have to haul down the "hill"
heres the lower and upper course sails ready to warp onto the mainmastwhen the donated timber arrives during the week.
a large flat bed trailer has had a front wheel attached ,so more photos as it starts to look like a proper barque

the upper course is about 2.5m,maincourse 5m


the jibs should account for another 4m,the knock(between the main and mizzen )will be around 6m , the mizzen is another 6m

Hey Paul, all looking good, you guys don't mess about do you? What are you going to use as a traditional figurehead, one of the ladies from Hay St maybe!!
