Here is a picture of my boom vang. I used rivets - but they cracked the mast tube so I removed them and epoxied a sleeve.[img][/img]
Also a pic of the mast step and chain plates. The rear hole in the mast step is where the keel bolt exits the deck. The white thing is the jib sheet exit.
The deck is grey monokote wing covering - I figured that I may be doing some mods and didnt want a solid deck. And another shot of what the structure looked like before monokote was applied. Cross braces for keel support, chainplates, mast brace, reinforcement for jib boom swivel location. Backstay will be on tang mounted to the flat section of the transom. The small plywood piece on the keel trunk holds the front of the radio control board. Batteries are a flat 5 cell AA pack that will be under the board and the receiver is velcro'd under the deck beam next to the keel trunk on the opposite side that the jib sheet is ran.
