A little more progress on the 15ft power mill. I ended up repairing the tail, it was really rough. I had to totally dismantle it and put it through the roller to straighten it out, it also needed some patches. I also made two new tail bone and top hinges. The second tailbone and top hinge is for Paul's 15 footer. The 8ft Beatty tail vane is for size comparison. I still have to make one sail and then it's ready to put together.
