No matter how many times I tell myself to measure twice and cut once...Sometimes things just happen!
I gave the rigger for the headstay an incomplete dimension, so now, the headstay is too short...
Although this may take some figuring, it may work out better, as there will be more room between the bow anchor and the drum of the roller furler.
Everything happens for a reason!!!
And even mistakes can lead to a final outcome in a positive light ;)
Unfortunately the rigging can't be tuned and the sails can't be lifted until the problem is solved...
On the other hand, I did give JSI in St. Pete the correct measurements and requests for modification... but, they failed to make the rigging modified as requested... It won't be possible to know if this works out for the best until we are able to tune the rigging... Stay tuned ;p

There is a saying that you should consider a mistake a "Buddhist Gift". Art is a lot like that. In one of my classes our artist instructor gave us "rules" but said the best pieces of art often broke the rules but then the real art was in the response to the broken rule to make the picture work as a whole. She as an instructor liked watching us work with our "mistakes" to see how we overcame the challenge.
I cut that piece of wood three times and it's STILL too short!
