Subject: Nice job, Jared!

Jared, that is a really pretty piece of work. Thanks for sharing.

It is interesting to see the subtle and sometimes not so subtle variations between Mariners. From your photos it looks like Bruce and I have two athwartships supports **plus** the block you mention running forward of the main supports. On some Mariners I've seen, the block is twice as thick as it is on Murre. And that still isn't enough! :)

And I'm finding the mast step placement more and more curious. On none of the 31s I've seen is the mast directly over its corresponding supports; yet would it change the center of effort all that much to have the main step moved aft six inches so that it was over its support?

I guess such intellectual musings are half the fun of Mariners.

Yes, I for one, would appreciate the addition of your solution to the project section. Bill could paste yours into what Bruce and I put together if that's easiest--sure is OK w/me. Happy to call the article "THREE solutions..." :)

I typically write up my articles in Microsoft Word; paste into that doc the photos I want to use laid out as I'd like them, and then I send that Word doc **plus** a seperate copy of each photo in .jpeg to Bill. One thing that helps him is to make sure the name of the .jpeg is listed above the text in the word doc. And, to his point, it's also a nice reference for any further correspondence on this forum. I also reduce the photo file size to 100 - 300 kb (in photo manager, it's the "suitable for webpages" setting, or similar) as opposed to the 2 mb default camera setting.
