Step 5Competing with China
The plan is to attach a mast rest bracket on the mizzen mast.
When we lean the mainmast back it will rest on this bracket. First we need a ladder up the mizzen mast. We don't have a ladder long enough so we lash a couple of ladders together with innertube.
Pretty impressive you say? Awesome ingenuity and industrial competence?
Check out this photo I shot in Putien City, Fujian province China. Three bamboo ladders lashed together so a guy can weld over his head with one hand hanging on.
Wake up America. If you want to compete with China, you're going to have to try really hard.

Yes that question was a joke. It may have something to do with China's ability to outwork us as well.
