Insert a small eyelet close to the back of the concrete boat base before the concrete sets completely . Let the concrete boat completely cure 24-48 hours . Remove concrete from mould and gently sand all the edges . Drill two small eyelet holes in the driftwood mast : about 5cm from the top and 5cm from the surface of the concrete boat . Ensure that the holes are facing towards the back of the boat . Screw eyelets into each of the drilled pilot holes . Then , measure the distances between the three eyelets to determine how the sail needs to be cut . Add an extra 4cm to the length and width of the triangle .
