Hi Rob, love the WoodenBoat submission.
Question: how do you plan to stiffen/lock the folding akas?
With an internal or external sleeve or plug?
Tensioned lines against stops?
Simply hinged on one side of each joint, and pinned on the other?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
Also, it looks like the tiller extensions would be at dramatically different angles depending on the direction of shunt; tiller arms pointing at each other on one shunt, and pointing apart on the other. Do I see that correctly?
Lastly, is the gin pole designed to basically be a hoist, in which the mash is simply lowered into the stub/boom socket?
Mike

Done. Any comments, let me know.
From the EditorQuote We have received your submission as one of a gratifyingly broad field of quality designs. It's great to see that so many of them really embraced the spirit of the project as well as meeting the specific technical parameters of the challenge.
While we're still waiting for some of the postmarked overseas packages roll in, judging is tentatively scheduled for late May in hopes of announcing at least the wood division winner at this summer's WoodenBoat Show in Mystic, Connecticut the last weekend in June. (www.thewoodenboatshow.com) Both magazines and the Professional BoatBuilder Web site will carry the contest updates and results. End quote
If there are any updates on these sites, could whoever sees them please let me know.
How do you stop the Yahoo generated notification of a new folder being sent? I do not tick the box, yet the notification always goes out.
