Spring 2024 saw us knee deep in shavings as we ventured into the new world of plank replacement. With my (Megan) shipwright friend on the phone, and Dad's old hand tools we managed to figure out this tricky project of shaping, steaming, twisting, bending and timing.
As any woodworker knows, it's always a spiritual journey. I was deeply moved by the work and remembering those who planked MJ 50 years ago.
In this short story you see behind the scenes with what happens to MJ's masts and rigging. The photos and clips are primarily from the 2022 season which was has it's share of hard moments and shining stars. Thank you to the 2022 Crew for their unwavering (and continued) support.
The bottom work captured on this short video, has Megan saying "here we are," at least 4 times. But you were all there, showing up for MJ and getting the work done! Extra special thanks to Mr. Mathews!
