INCREDIBLE ? Mistress' NEW RIG ? Ep 176 Building my steel sailing yacht

This is the trip to see and talk with Cookie of S&H Spars on the Gold Coast who, along with Peter, designed, fabricated and put all of the myriad of components together for Mistress' masthead, cutter designed sailing Rig - mast, boom, spinnaker pole, standing rigging and the multitude of other necessary spars rigging gear and parts - and WHAT A SURPRISE it was to SEE and RE-AQUAINT myself with JUST HOW HIGH QUALITY and STRONG this complete Rig for Mistress is! I hope that you enjoy this technical discussion I had with Cookie, a man with nearly a lifetime of building Spars and Rigs experience for thousands of yachts, both the smaller and the Huge and Glamourous, and who has an incredible wealth of VERY PRACTICAL, STRONG and QUALITY methods to build and supply VERY DURABLE, PERFORMANCE yacht Rigs! Mistress is designed by one of the highly respected Dutch naval architects E.G. Van de Stadt, a Caribbean design, length 40ft/12m, beam 13ft/3.9m, draft 5ft/1.5m. Her hull and decks are built in mild steel and I have built her on my own and am also fitting her out on my own. I have not built any type of boat before Mistress. There were many reasons why, but the work stopped,... However, the work has re-started, thankfully, and I am on an exciting journey to finish Mistress and then go on my sailing adventures,... I hope that you can join along with me! @BuildingSYMistress https://www.youtube.com/user/bmwfreedom https://www.symistress.com https://www.patreon.com/symistress https://www.paypal.me/symistress bmwfreedom@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/bruce.wilson.1481 Thanks to Frans Driesen for his High Quality scale drawing of Mistress Music thanks www.bensound.com Creative Minds Epidemic sound It's Pale Blue-Rasmus Faber
