The pinrails are now on. It took a bit of cautious but assertive use of the rubber mallet to get them positioned onto the shrouds. So far they are a great help in organizing all the lines!

Belay Pins from Thailand
One of Matt's projects to make pinrails for the boat. We decided to order up some belay pins rather than trying to make our own, and after a bit of internet research he finally found a place in Thailand that manufactures the size we needed.
They just arrived yesterday, and Matt can carry on with the project. He's made the pinrails, and now that the pins are here he can drill holes in the rails for the pins to go through. Oh, except that he discovered that the actual pins are ever so slightly bigger than the specs stated, so he needs an ever so slightly bigger bit for the drill press, which needs to be ordered, so we'll have to wait for that to arrive. Ah, boat projects.
