screws will serve to both anchor the drums to the winch shaft and anchor the sheets to the drum (it may get changed to bolts soon)

The FORE WINCH & the MAIN WINCH. Stayed tuned next time for the servo controls! In the event that anyone was wondering, the extended shaft on the FORE WINCH is simply a stock piece that will be cut down into 3 pieces, to support the far end of each of the JIB WINCH, MAIN WINCH, and FORE WINCH. On the far right side of the long shaft is a support bushing

I am nearing the end of the collection of photos of the build. From here on I will be asking for guidance from any who have gone this way before.
This is a test piece of the deck planking. 4mm X 2mm thick each. I plan on mounting this on 3mm plywood sub-floor, making a 5-6 mm thick deck. There will be no bulkheads in the hull, meaning the deck will be taking a share of the load. I am planning on beams across the framing, to support the sub-floor of the deck. The masts will be stepped through to the keel, so no load there. The step, shrouds and stays should be taking the full load.The shroud load will be taken by the hull sides, supported by the deck and beams across the framing. If there is an error in this idea, let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

2 views of the jib trying to show the curve of the sail. These are only tests, not the final sail. This material is polyester-cotton blend. Final sails will be Ripstop nylon. Still learning sailmaking
