Egret build update. Sail test fit.

Anyone out there following I uploaded some new pics of the egret.   The pics are of the first fully rigged sprit sail test fit in my backyard.  Learning experience : I think the word is furl the sail before you step the mast from out side the boat.  Tried to step it standing alongside the boat with the sail fully extended... got away from me while raising the bottom of the mast over the shear of the boat.  I'll never do that again.
