It turns out that when you think you're almost done building a sailboat, that you have to do all the things that actually make it a sailboat -- aka "rigging".
First were the stays -- those are the ropes (later, cables) that keep the mast upright. Tricky to get the lengths right.
Then came the extra hardware to keep all the ropes (oh, those are coming!) in line. The pulleys that will handle the main sheet, mounted on the boom, and a nifty mast/boom holder for when the boat is in transit or trailered.
