First attempt to hoist the main. Gaff and boom are not trimmed to length yet, and the foot of the sail is pulled out away from the mast, but not a bad first try. (forestay not attached so the mast is bent back a bit)

Making gaff jaws (i later added strength to the jaws with an additional layer of 1/4 inch ply added to the 3/8)

Preparing for the mast.
