New yards in the making
How to make a new yard, step 1. 😊
This week has included locating, taking down, debarking and preparing timber that will become six new yards on the ship!
Heading out on our big expedition to Asia next year, we need to bring spare yards with us, and this week has been very busy at the sawmill outside of Laholm. Once the first processing of the logs has been done, they will be brought back to the workshop in Gothenburg where the work will continue.
For the rig enthusiasts: The first log in the video will be an angled mizzan yard (latine yard). The second will be the second half of our main yard. One of the logs will also be our new spritsail yard to replace the one that broke this summer. The current one will go back to being the spare spritsail yard.
A big thank you to Södra , SnickarNilsson, JB Riggers and PG Kran AB!
