Looking good Nigel.  And a spacious, well equipped workshop - Wow!

Pleased to see you've adopted the Dual Rig Option.  We find it has no disadvantages, only benefits.  
Some people create a "Lug-Plug" to discourage rain and spray from entering.  You could turn one from some spare hardwood, and include a groove for an o-ring.  (Sketch available if interested.)

You're expecting to need a Bowsprit, and a method to restrain its forward end when in use.  You may like the Mast-Stowed-Forward option (when your construction has got that far) using an enlarged Bowsprit-Iron.
