Next up, I finally came to terms with the fact that I really needed to install a bow eye for trailering at some point. I didn't want to mainly because I don't like the look and the installation would be difficult because the bow is so narrow. I found a nice stainless bow eye online (I don't remember where) that had 2 - 3" legs. I like the 2 legged bow eyes because the don't spin if the backing nut loosens up.

Moving aft, I finished rigging the boomkin with a small harken carbo block and a clam cleat to handle the mizzen sheet. I also drilled a small hole just above where the boomkin goes through the transom so that the sheet can pass through from the block to the clam cleat. I took a few photos but there isn't really much to see.
I also finally finished up the rudder assembly and mounted two cl-257 auto release clam cleats to control the rudder's uphaul and downhaul. I used small padeyes screwed to the leading and trailing edges of the rudder to attach the uphaul and downhaul.
There are a bunch more updates, but I'll split it up into a second part later this weekend.
