Thanks for all the kind words.

The mizzen is 19'.

Jim, it really became a struggle at times to keep going. I'm used to working on projects that take a weekend or two. I'm GLAD it's done. It really is a lot of fun to sail. When we were loading it on the trailer my 8 year old grandson asked me, "what are you doing next Sunday grandpa"?

Randy thanks for reply. I also used douglas fir and birdsmouth consruction, I did add blocking at the snotter attachment area and the lower 3' of the mast, still have a good amount of sanding to do and it's at 20' right now, wishful thinking I can approach 20 lb though :huh: this is before final glue up showing the blocking.

I built masts as close to the plans as possible. A lot gets planed off to make them round. You might be surprised how much it will lighten up by the time you get done hand planing to make round. I also added blocking where the snotter goes, and also the bottom and top.
