Building A Chameleon Sailing Dinghy | Mast & Sprit #6
Constructing a mast and sprit for a Chameleon sailing dinghy seems like a simple affair, but it's actually quite complex.
It takes a lot of effort to plane a 12' long 4x4 post into a 12' long 2" diameter mast. The process also creates an extraordinary amount of wood chips as well. Wow, what a mess.
I cheated a bit on the sprit by using 1.5" round pine stock. The end product turned out absolutely wonderful.
After the parts were built, I applied 5 coats of varnish. Shoot, just this step alone takes the better part of a week - sanding each coat once dry before the next is applied. Still, now that the parts are finished, they are just gorgeous to look at.
All in all, I feel like I've done a good job at building these sailing components, and now the little boat is one BIG step closer to becoming a genuine, tiny sailing dinghy.
Thanks for watching!!
