is a nic day in oz suny and hot

I am getting back into building my boat and was looking up the net looking for masts and came across this http://www.goldspar.com.au/ site and he wanted to know how heavy the boat will be?...... and they make them up in their workshop. I can get a one piece or a two piece with a sail track also. Which comes to my next question is building a sail with reefing points and how that would work?.....

We've had so much rain lately , first dry day to work on the boat. Des & Gayle are both staying here at present. Have been walking along lots of beaches & swimming holes in beautiful creeks surrounded by rainforest & canefields. It's harvest time for cane at present so it's all very busy,& a delightful sweet smell pouring out of the sugarmill

David & Des have got back into building the boat they started last winter... Australian winter.. At present we're looking into building an Oregan mast....Also wanting to add a Graham style cabin to the CS17 Have a couple of pictures of where we're up to http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/laveyou/album?.dir=/bb2ascd&.src=ph&.tok=phLp1CHBF4avLnej and [ftp=ftp://http://www.flickr.com/photos/10585258@N06/]http://www.flickr.com/photos/10585258@N06/[/ftp]
