To the right you can see the hull with the centre board trunk installed. It is now July 21, 2001. In order to install the centre board trunk I had to make the centre board first to ensure that every thing fits properly.

This is the hull taped, trunk installed and the centre board installed in the trunk.
It is now July 26, 2001 and its been a wet summer. The rain is nice because it helps clean the amine blush off the surface. It is important to clean the surface well before recoating. The second layer may not cure if the amine blush is not removed.
This is after two coats of Epoxy and Glass Cloth
Installing the Skeg
It is now August 4, 2001. I have now come to the conclusion that I will not be launching this year. I still have way to much work to do and where I live, north of 60, it is already getting nippy at night. I still have to make and install the deck, make the mast, paint, etc, etc, etc. This picture was taken at 9:30 pm. You can see that the light is already starting to fade. The long days are over. The white on the hull is epoxy and filler. 406 colloidal silica. Much to hard to sand so I ordered some 410 Microlite.
This is the mast before shaping.
