The plan is, even though it's January, to spend a few days on a solo canoe trip either to Lake Travis or to Lake Georgetown. The problem is that I want this thing to sail, and the trip is less than 2 weeks away. This weekend and last I've worked on all the components: the yoke, the mast step, and the mast and boom. Sail cloth is being shipped from South Carolina (5 bucks a yard, 5.5 oz dacron sail cloth, ebay!). The paradigm has shifted: do not spend months trying to make a perfect rig- this will mean it never gets done. Instead just make the pieces, often out of scrap, and see how they work together. Then redesign and remake the beta pieces. If I think of it that way then everything moves much faster. But will it move fast enough for Jan. 21st trip? Pictured is the yoke, almost complete, standing on end without the keels attached.
