Alan Stewart Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hey everyone, Just trying to get the word out that B&B will be at Mystic, CT in just over a month for the 2017 Wooden Boat show and we plan to bring up kits for the family boat building event. Right now we have a scant 3 boats signed up to build with us. If anyone knows of someone who might enjoy a great trip to Mystic and build a boat to boot! send em our way.

Don Silsbe Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I meant the pop rivets on the mast, but the same holds true for the cheek block on the sprit. I don't like tensile loading, since you're only relying on thread engagement for retention. With a shear load, you're trying to cut the screw or pop rivet in two like scissors.
