It looks magnificent for me but I am not sure about what experts think about. Also, I would love to hear some critique about it.

Great work, thanks for sharing.

Ah - our dear old Bestia. I recall testing her back in late 2008 and early 2009 and the various teething troubles we had in learning how to assemble and disassemble her, finding in the end that, more often than not, we really did need a team of eight. Once we got used to it though - what a machine! :-) How are you finding it?

Hi Paul, I stripped it back to bare timber, re-roped her and brought it back to show room condition. Erecting it is still a challenge though :unsure:
