My brother has spent the past 1.5 months building this internal framework. Beautiful craftsmanship as always. He is now waiting for temperatures to rise above 10 degrees C, allowing him to mount this assembly on the boat. The shrouds will be connected to the mast foot with adjustable rods. The design is light and very strong. The reinforcement knees are made from Acid proof stainless steel and polished to a high gloss finish. I'm very impressed and proud of the work my brother is doing with his boat/restoration.
