The gaff saddle finally fits (thanks Nigel), the sails are bent on and they work. A very pleasant sail over to Brightlingsea and now sitting happily in the Coach House Coffee Shop sipping mocha.
We will have to adjust the span. Bringing it further forward has taken some of the load off the saddle and I think it is sliding more easily but the two span loops are too close and the purchase is chock-a-block before the peak is tensioned.
