Rounding the last corner

Well, sort of.  AT least it does look like a March launch will really happen.  Lot's going on, from priming the deck, finishing the rudder linkage and designing and building the deck cross brace.

Pictures below:

The Bow is a bit different than most:

The linkage pretty  much in place

Twins!

Primed curves - note my 1.1% advantage!

We laminated the foam to the shape we wanted  the tiller and then sanded it and laid it up with carbon and carbon and Kelvar sleeves.

the top plate of the deck brace - plywood laid up with carbon.

Vacuum bagged to get the carbon to conform to the curves.  Worked for the most part.

The tiller and the deck brace - the two parts of the deck brace will be epoxied together yet.  The tube part is unidirectional carbon and the carbon/ kelvar sleeves over foam.
