Winter Yard Work - new bits

The yard work is progressing ready for launch on 10th March, early this year due to losing a couple of weeks out of the sailing programme because of the olympics.

We have a new Excel V12 backstay tackle:

Also the bowsprit now has the bobstay fitted in 4mm wire and the tack block is fitted on a soft loop using a bit of pipe insulation to make it stand up, this may not be a permanent solution. We will still be using the pole downhaul as a tack line for the ayso so need the snatch block, we are considering having a permanent tack line.....but where to fit the clutch?
