yardarm

above is a photo of the viking longship on show at the Peel Museum.

The yardarm rests shown would make it much easier for us to row when not using the sail.
If there's agreement, I would like to make some for the Black Eagle

Rather than wait until next spring to refurbish the Longship we should make a program of works that could be carried out over the winter months, we could then get it back in the water in early Spring. I suggest we start by Oiling all the wood
