Sun Wind HF Deck Hardware Installed

I've decided to change the name of the boat to the Sun Wind HF . "HF" for being in the Vintage Marblehead "High-Flyer" division. It sounds cooler too. All the deck hardware has now been installed, and I'm just waiting for the sails to arrive. I decided to go with all brass for this boat. The hardware is from Model Yacht Fittings . It's a one-man shop out of Florida by a guy named Roger Cousineau. He makes lovely brass parts, and he has an entire kit for just Vintage Marblehead's. He also does parts for the huge J-Class boats and other classes. Check out his website. Here's the jib rack: The mast step and jib fairlead: I went with eye-bolts for the shrouds, but many people would opt for a rack here instead. Yes, for you very observant folks, I forgot the washer on the left eye-bolt, but they were such little shits to install that I'm not taking it back out just to put on a washer! Mainsheet fairlead. Yes, I know it's not...
