First Australian Swift Solo

Procrastination - the enemy of boat builders

Posted on Monday 19 February 2007

I made great progress on the Swift Solo at the weekend. The forestay is now attached to the deck.

I also had a realisation. Part of the reason progress has been slow in recent weeks is that I was worried about this particular job. If you aren’t too sure about something it is very easy to procrastinate. MISTAKE!!! It is much better to be brave and just get on with it.

The day of bonding is getting closer………

The forestay is a nice bit of gear. It is full carbon with metal sleeves a the back of the fitting which can be used to adjust forestay tension or the position of the jib.
