It's been awhile. But it's not like I haven't been busy.
I do want to race PHRF and that requires a certificate, which in this neck of the woods, requires a minimum of 19' and 400 lbs of ballast.....so I have been expanding the boat.
First, I have created the molds for the additional lead. 6 bricks at 40 lbs apiece should get me to the weight I need. I just hope the extra lead doesn't blow through the bottom of the boat!!
Second, I am working on a bolt on stern/suger scoop. I am building off a plan Chad of Knot Racing created. It is coming out pretty well.
Here it is w/ the first layer of glass.
Finally, I got out sailing again with the new sails. They still require some minor tweaks, but work brilliantly....sorry all, I don't have one picture....BIG mistake, but I will rectify that soon!!!
Happy Holidays!!!
Wha? My plan? I thought that was from Brant in SF? I recall we discussed it a little, but that beauty is all yours now, I'd say! I'll probably even copy it a bit if I ever try to get a So Cal cert....
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the PH folks, and happy new year.
Can't wait to try it out!!!
