Prepin' of PIP - Rigging a bowsprit and jib to "Tyger"

Island Cutter

What started out as a simple, Walker Bay 8 sailing dinghy has turned into something of a Sea Hoopty... First the Tanbarksails (we don't need no stinkin' crash window!), then the PlasTeak "decking", and now I have added a jib and bowsprit. <br />Watch out Wolf, here comes Tyger.

"Sailbad the sinner" better mind his helm and keep a weather to leeward! She may be small but she do look mighty!

I'm realy thinking hard about Plasteak for hand rails! The sailing dink on my boat deck, "Imp-Patience", is getting all wood replaced this winter with Plasteak.

I haven't used the PlasTeak dimensional "lumber", but the thin decking material is amazing! It even has a slight fuzziness like a freshly holystoned deck. It would have been pricey, but I was an installer at the time and these were off-cuts that I managed to salvage.

The Walker Bay is my smallest sailboat and the one that seems to get used the most. Glad that I got the beige hull... it looks a little less like plastic that way.
