Bowsprit project part 2







New sprit, Doug fir. Sampson posts are fir as well.











Finished! This project took several months to accomplish.
Both sampson posts and bowsprit were cut down from larger pieces using less than ideal tools for the job.
The bowsprit platform wood was re-used after a thorough cleaning. All wood is coated with natural teak Cetol.
Note the absence of the jib boom. We wanted to get rid of it anyway, but mother nature helped us out a bit. (Things tend to break in strong winds...)
