Mizzen and Gaff received. Unwrapped today and mizzen up. Had a few issues with the "prussic knott". Finally figured it out. The loop was to long. I had to wrap the rope back on itself a few times to shorten it up. Came out OK, We will see how it works on the water. Also found more loose nuts and bolts today - rudder, self tacking jib boom etc. Hope I found them all! A couple of photo's of how the prussic knott turned out. (From both sides).

Gaff came in two parts that I will need to glue together to stop it twisting. Another issue found on the Gaff. There is no hole or fairlead to tie the line to? Poor quality control on this. I will probably end up drilling a couple of holes and adding a fairlead to the top to tie off to. Pondering if I should use screws or bolts for this. The wooden plug is suposed to go 2" into the top of the gaff. Not sure I trust this after the other issues I have encountered already. Still, I have heard of others drilling through the gaff sprit for reef lines etc. The two small holes for the fairlead should not be an issue. Especially if the wooden plug really does go 2" into the top of the boom! Yep, getting the boat has been an adventure!
