IMG_2421 looking aft from windlass 20160816 credit H. Burnham (640x480) The crew is getting ready to start integrating the new work to what was done in 2008-2009. The start of a square frame has been positioned on the forward section of the keel. You can clearly see how the two futtocks with "hockey stick" ends overlap over the keel and imagine how this makes a very strong structure. This double-sawn frame will be complete when the rest of the futtocks are fastened in place.

Looking from the deck of the forward section near the windlass aft to the new framing and bracing.
