Spars Hardware and Trailex Trailer

I finished up some of the spars with 2 coats of epoxy and 5 coats of varnish. I applied it with a foam brush and they turned out pretty good if I say so myself.

For the bowsprit, I installed all the hardware on it and did a test fit and connection with the bobstay that attaches to the boweye.  With COVID-19, it has been a little difficult getting the bolts that I needed. I wound up ordering some of them online, so I wouldn't have to visit the local stores.

With the recent sale at CLCBoats, I decided to order my Trailex Trailer. It took about 4 weeks as expected and arrived partially put together. Below are a couple pictures of when it arrived.

I didn't have any "Salty Language" when putting it together! LOL. I will say it did take me about 6-8 hours over a couple of days to get everything put together. I was able to do it alone, but having a helper would have definitely helped. Since it is a custom trailer, they don't have custom instructions, but it is pretty straight forward. Trailex was able to guide me through it using other trailer documents and answer my question. Very helpful!

I got the axle and springs attached the first day.

Below is everything put together with the winch. It does come with a spare tire, but I will just keep that in the back of my truck.

I will need to adjust the bunks on the side once I get the boat on the trailer.

In parallel, I have been working on the mast and gaff. Since I had to work all day yesterday Sunday, I took off a little while ago and put the first coat of varnish on.
