Masts
Below you can see the making of the masts and gaffs of the Quadra summarized in a few images. Unfortunately, it is difficult to visualize the amount of work: from drawing the designs, making the mast fitings and gaff fittings, cutting all the parts, delivering the right aluminium tubes to puzzling, fitting and welding everything together.
We were lucky that N. Dijkstra Metaalbewerking, where the masts were made, had a free hall where the masts could stay. So we painted the masts right away. And fitted all the electric cables, lights, antennas, radar, wind gauge, etc.

In the previous blog we already showed how the keel was made. In early April the keel was filled with 15 tonnes of lead as required ballast for the ship. The video shows the molten lead being poured into the keel.
