Expensive bit

Well I finally tracked down the part of the gooseneck I needed to get to be able to attach my boom to my mast. The pin I had on the mast was round and the boom had a square hole. $60, 10 emails and phone calls later I had a square pin. With a little teflon tape (see picture) the pin fit perfectly.

The final steps required to get the boat on the water is to secure the centreboard gasket, apply some wax, clean the inside of the boat and get some line for the mainsheet. I hope to have everything finished off this weekend and sailing on Tuesday.
