We worked for 4 hours between last saturday and today. I asked my friend Fanco Toscano (who builds beautiful astronomical telescopes here in Matera) to shorten and modify the original HC16 steel bar that fixes the mast base to the aka. Here's the result
The lower end screws into the aluminum mast base, while the top end goes trough the front aka.
The whole thing
Meanwhile, Cinzia finished the tiller ready for painting and installation
Now we must coat with resin or paint everything,
Total work time to date: 794 hours
