February progress on Toroa























Ama connection as featured on Gary Dierking's blog



















Cockpit details: note the lee deck and rib, mast base and rib at right of picture






















































































Mast scarf details



















































Kiato connection: The protruding pegs are shaped to retain a lashing around the kiato.


















Leeward self draining cockpit scuppers cut.


















Now to finish coving.
I'm off to Whangarei to collect my first ever outboard motor, a 2.5 hp. long shaft 4 stroke. Once I have that I can build the motor bracket and the all the structure is complete. Not too long now and we'll be sailing (and motoring) again

  1. I've been enjoying watching this elegant rebuild of Toroa. I like the clever way of making the platform integral with the aka/kiato attachments.
