Mast Epoxy

Set up the mast cradle for epoxy coating with a simple 90° positional adjustment. First coat applied to seal the surfaces. Currently missing the through hole at the base of the mast for retention pin. I'll add that later. I intend to glue the joiner tube on and epoxy coat the mast and tube together for a good finish. Sail track will be finished independently and bonded on afterwards.

Mast epoxy and sail track

Mast joiner glued on and sanded flush. Lots of mast sanding. Finished making up the sail track lengths. Just need a scarf for the main section and trimming for the top masts.
