Dyneema shroud progress

Jane has been busy making more of the shrouds for our mizzen. Unfortunately our garden is flooded and been heavy rain all day so it hasn’t been practical to use our stretching rig on them.

    1. We didn’t manage a day off last week to do anything. Also the garden is still very soft to walk on.
      In the first tests with our rig at home we loaded shrouds to about 2700kg at which point we felt that the timber rig was at its limit.
      Thanks for the encouragement.
