Hardening the corner

On the under side of Eolian's bowsprit, where one fluke of our Bruce anchor rests when the anchor is hauled home, the corner had taken somewhat of a beating from contact with the fluke.  I spent an hour or so in the dinghy with a hammer and a chisel, relieving the area where the contact was being made, about 1/2" deep.  After painting the bare wood, I installed a 6" stainless rubstrake.

This worked well enough that when I constructed the new bowsprit, I copied the design.
