Finally I completed rigging the deck.


First, I made a pattern and then placed the rigging components on the pattern.  The bow is at 12 and the downhaul is at 6.  At about 1:30 is one side of the boom vang loop on the inside circle.  On the outside circle is one of the halyard blocks.  At 10:30 is the other side of the boom vang loop and the other halyard  block. 


I marked the locations and moved the components for drilling.


Even though I marked both sides of the components it's I good idea to drill the first hole from the pattern and then drill the second hole using the component as a guide.


Alll the holes have been drilled and I'm ready to mount everything.


The components are mounted around the mast tube.  A 15 minute job that took me a few days to complete!
