It's been awhile since I sent new photos so I thought I would send you an
update. I completed the cabin and cockpit this summer as well as painting. I
have mounted and bedded the pivoting mast step. I have installed the
companionway guides and bedded them in marine bedding. I cut and temporarily
mounted the toe rails. Now to shape, sand, varnish and then bed them. The bow
spirit is mounted and bedded. I have come up with a prototype port light that
will open from inside with a screen on the outside. I will send photos as this
progresses. Still having fun. I am looking forward to sailing this spring. This
is December but I had a couple of good weather days and made a lot of progress.

01/26/2005: All spars are mounted on my Tango. Sails are fit and tested. I
have started wiring. I will run AC (shore power) circuits first, then DC
circuits. I am looking forward to sailing this spring. I had allowed myself 3
years of weekends and occasional weekdays to complete this boat. I started in
April of 2002 and it looks like I am right on target to finish in April of
2005.
