Bad news
Sadly on my recently renovated moth, the mast step split just after I had secured the mast when rigging it, this caused the mast to fall, scratching the paint, and now we need to make a replacement (I doubt I would easily be able to buy a new one) so my plan for a maiden tommorow is unlikely to go a...

Re: moth
Reading this makes me feel apprehensive about the first time I am going to take my skol mk1 out. After having just renovated her, although I still no very little about the skol, the fact that mine was built by Rondar halls, but I still don't know whether it was a public design or one limited to the ...
