While the rudder box is in the clamp, I'm learning to make saddles. These ones are not quite right, but I will make five more that look something similar. They will take their places for different jobs on the rigging.
- One the end of the boom for the sail outhaul.
- One on benind the midships seat, for hanging one of the blocks for the mainsheet.
- Two for the boom vang, or kicking strap, that pulls the boom down. One goes on the bottom of the boom, the other one on the mast.
- One on the mast collar on the bow seat for the mast holddown.
