Sad? Very sad. But I failed at making the very basic Sailboat project. The "X" shaped travel brace to put in the cockpit to give support to the mast while it's in the down position.
I used two boards tied together with a rope in the middle in a "X" shape and placed it snuggly under the mast in the cockpit. The result? Stays put 1 mile and then falls over :cry:
Is this mast support really necessary for an hour's travel? If so, can you please post up any advice or pics for the engineeringly challenged? How can i make this silly thing stay in place?
My Mast thanks you
