I made the mast peg leg some time ago. Just now getting around to putting the mast pin in it. It's a 3/8 inch SS lag bolt 4 inches long. I screwed it in so about 1 inch was showing then I cut the head off. Not an easy job with a manual hack saw. I also put in the hiking strap. I put it in the traditional way athwart ship. That's the way it was done back in the day. We'll see if that works. If not I'll put it in fore/aft as are all the other boats now days.
I also added the traveler and finished up rigging the boom. Boom just needs some varnish.
