Here is what "This End Up" looked like before getting the name back on the sides:

I did get both sails made by SLO.
In the technical photo albums I tried to document all of the steps I took with the rebuild. Inside that album there are three more key albums that show what I did to the aluminum parts, the fiberglass and the tools I used to get these jobs done.
I also created a bunch of video on this project and I really need to do a summary one and get it up and posted. Here is the first one in the series: [url]https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=e8i7dEBBFE4[/url]
The whole thing was a kind of design build kind of project, so some of the thinking expressed in these videos changed as I worked through each of the steps. My goal all along was to show how to revive these old boats and hopefully save the next guy doing this kind of work some of my missteps.
I am going to be doing a lot thinking about the downhaul setup. I have a hard time thinking the original halyard system is up the kinds of loads created by a 6:1 or larger system when you really load it up. I even wonder if the old rollers in the masthead can take seriously increased loads, so the overall fix to increase the downhaul system needs to include them as well.[/quote]
