This should turn into a nice series of photographs of the building of a Adventurer 25.

John, the builder, working alone, has spent four months getting this far using mainly recycled timbers.

Page 5: ​The builder is experimenting with a wood epoxy mast. The Below pictures show how he has gone about this

Strips of maranti stapled together.

Stapling one side only allows the strips to curve over the formers. One for the
mast, the other for the boom.

The two formers. The masts are being made in two halves.

Tests are to be carried out on these one meter long test sections..

An attractive spar at 20% the cost of a similar sized alloy section.
