    Today, Sea Elf officially became a schooner!  This morning, with the help from my friend Gary, we were able to put the mainmast in.

    Thanks Gary.  It looks great having masts on her, that's for sure!  Yes, I've posted one (tide was low and couldn't get a good side shot) on my profile album.  All the best---

    The picture looks good. Now to rigging her up. When do you plan some sea trials?

    I must say that Sea Elf is now looking very elegant, with her raised topsides. Much better looking than the original Nic 32.
    With such a high deck ring fabrication, what had you in mind for wedging, Neil?

    She looks great and must have tons more room inside than the original.  I bet you can't  wait to go sailing in her!

    Hi David....you must mean for the foremast?  I just plan on wedging it...what are your thoughts on it?  I'm not sure if the folks on the Nic32 group will agree...I've been very reluctant to show them what I've been up to.   The original design has a pretty successful track record and if it weren't for my misfortune of being too close to a fire, I would have continued to enjoy her original layout.  But I do agree about the raised topsides....that is why I went that route when I began the renovation.....

    Thanks Annie....Yes there is more room, but in redesigning her, you never anticipate all of her needs.   IE:  Batteries....water (my mainmast lives where my water tank used to be!)  But we will figure it out....I just can't wait to sail her again....

    Yes, I was distinctly unsuccessful in my attempts to wedge a parallel mast in a parallel sleeve, and turned to Spartite, which is good - until you want to get the mast out.
