Eilean leather, season 2013

 The new boom crutch supports the main boom from the mizzen mast.

I was asked to poduce some winch handle pockets, but there weren't too many places they could actually go. So I decided to create a double pocket on each side of the low lying deck furniture.
 There had to be way to ensure they wouldn't fall out, hence the button stoppers which I had used before on Mariquita's jib top thump mat.



 

  
 Eilean's jib top thump mat for the winch handle using the same priciple and the handle can be placed down facing either direction.

 This single winch handle pocket will be fixed to the main mast. The low curve in the side should keep the handle close in to the mast out of the way of lines.

    Not only does Nikki's work look beautiful, it's robust and does the job it's supposed too. I love how the winch handles are stored on Eilean. No more worrying about them sliding into the abyss.
