Progress.

Since our last post, we've made some very good progress. Especially where the keel is concerned.

Our primary focus has been on the foils and the cockpit floor. After cutting the pieces out, leaving a small section at the front for us to fit the keelbox, we resined the two main pieces, and tonight we stuck down the middle section of the cockpit floor, before running fillets along the edges, and weighing the section down with the lead for our keel.

As you can see from the above photo, we've also beefed up the transom, to provide some extra support for the mounting of Hiking straps.

Now, the foils.

We have just completed the fairing of our rudder, and will be looking to coat it with Hi-Build etc. in the very near future.

We have already passed that stage with our keel though. A coat of Hi-B

uild is on, and we will be looking to paint very soon, stay tuned to see the colour scheme!

We have also made a couple of other other minor adjustments. One is to stiffen up the underside of the overhanging cabin-top lip, and one other involved the outer sleeve for our Carbon prod. We originally placed it so that it finished up just short of the stem, however we have now cut it back so that it is flush with the strengthening that was originally put in.

Our other little task was to place some Carbon around the front of the stem, which will look pretty cool once painted, and all of that. You can see this in the above photo!

There'll be another post soon, hopefully filled with Paint and Fibreglass! Until then, watch this space!
