Nice work, although I don't like to use plywood as a backing. Too
compressible and subject to rot. Recent experiments suggest that
thermoformed polypropylene (commonly used for cheap cutting boards)
makes a good backing. Previously I used Lexan but that's more difficult
to seal and/or glue into place.

What do you think of the Bulwagga anchor?

The first step was making a prototype out of cardboard to get the dimension correct. The cutout is for the forestay attachment.

WOW! An oragami bow sprit! Do you think it will hold up in weather?
