	'Far Saltire'
	Stern Roller on Far Saltire
	New Stern Roller Unit.
	Although the original wooden stern roller unit was OK, I was not completely happy with its overall fit, due to the way I had made it (on a basic wood working lathe).
	Now having a metal working lathe & mill I decided to 'Start Again', this time using Plexiglas ( a type of Acrylic).
