In 1985, Carol built sails for Pax while she was owned by Pete and Jeanie Lamb of Sausalito. The letters, in Hasse's distinctive handwriting, were kept all these years and passed through Steve Sunde to Kaci in September. The mast and main cabin have changed, so Hasse completely remeasured the boat.http://www.womanofthewind.com/picture/kchasseatwork.jpg?pictureId=933188During the time Hasse was onboard, we discussed changes I wanted to make including raising the boom. The blue tape shows where I moved it for better clearance in the cockpit, better visibility and we lost a few more inches of luff on this very large mainsail!http://www.womanofthewind.com/picture/mast1007.jpg?pictureId=933187Derk Wolmuth built the mast, the molds for the custom galvanized fittings and designed the rig using photos from other spidsgatters - a few of which he photographed at the Wooden Boat Festival. The "jumpers" support the upper mast and the three aft leading shrouds offset the forstay, an inner stay (if it were rigged) and the upper portion of mast. This 3 shroud rig is similar to what several Danish sailors have written about in 1962 redesigns of their original 2 shroud + running back supports. Note that Pax has no spreaders.http://www.womanofthewind.com/picture/paxdec07.jpg?pictureId=933185Photos of Pax from the 1980s forward show only her bare transom. Today, David Vane of The Drawing Board in Port Townsend, graced her hull with her name and new home port, Port Townsend. In the years to come, we hope to have custom bronze letters, but wanted to "try on" this font and size. David's fees cover design, cutting and installation. Not an easy install on this curvy hull.http://www.womanofthewind.com/picture/pb210021.jpg?pictureId=933207I moved the boom up. Final decision on boom length 99% to remain the same as Derk originally built it.
