Beginning the Build

So at the time I had just moved into a new house - I was renting. The lease was for only a year, so If I started the build I was skeptical about finishing before having to move in September. At this time, I decided to work on the "small" but tedious things.

There were a couple items I could begin that could easily be moved, the first was a "birdsmouth" mast, and the second was all of the blocks (pulleys) that would be needed for the sails.

I wanted the Mystnyx to have a fairly traditional look, along the lines of a "Friendship Sloop" which the Vacationer reminded me of.  So a set of traditional rope stropped wooden blocks for the halyards and gaff would be perfect, and was fairly time consuming as projects go.
