Sailing OTCA for auction at 2017 July Assembly

Don't forget that a Chapter-restored OCTA will be auctioned at the Assembly in July. The Three Rivers Chapter is pleased to offer this lovely canoe for auction, with all proceeds going to national WCHA.
It is a 1941 18-foot OTCA; a sailing canoe.
Here are some images of it on the water - going for a test run.

In case this link does not work, I'll post some images directly into the Forum next week.
 
Looks good Craig. How have you fixed the pulley blocks to the mast and boom? I need to do something similar on my Peterborough Rib rig

Hi Nick.
Basically I made a hose clamp the proper diameter for the boom and mast out of a strip of brass. Then I made a spacer for the eye of the pully out of a piece of copper tubing, small enough to fit inside the eye and long enough so that the pulley could swing freely when the clamp bolt was tightened down.
