Mast boomgallows bowsprit boom and gaff

 What is there to say about making the wooden spars of the boat. Probably a lot with the risk of getting too much into technical details.

Apart from the mast it was quite straight forward woodworking. Shaping it needs appropriate tools and one power tool I lacked for a while was router. 

The mast was a bit more complex. Not only because of the accurate routing but also the gluing with epoxy needs a fair bit of attention. My main concern was to get the mast as straight as possible. Surprisingly the mast came out straight right away despite of the separate parts being crooked. I guess 2 (or 4) times crooked = straight…
