<\/p>\n
Today was fun. Surrounded with coils of rope, boxes of rigging hardware, just like when we used to set up our sailing designs.<\/p>\n
Although FPBs are obviously not sailboats, they still have winches, rope clutches, and various types of string between. We are working with Thomas setting up the boom control system.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Some time ago we showed you the wonderful hardware Circa had made up for the boom control struts.<\/p>\n
The booms are 23 feet\/6.5 meters long, 6\u201d\/150mm diameter schedule 40 pipe. And this double traveler car set up with 4 -1 control tackle runs the booms in and out easily.<\/p>\n
Lots more to follow tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
