Ground/Grind Hog Day



One section at a time; a quick key up of the shiny fillets and then bogging any of the gaps and taping in one hit.... why didn't we do this all in one go when the boat was upside down at the stitch stage? However one section at a time is quick easy and manageable. The keel area is next so we might skip this (just do the chines) and come back when the keel trunk is made. I think we will mould the trunk seeing as we have the keel section, but a ply trunk would do just fine.




As an aside, the sail plan is with North Sails and we hope to have something back from them shortly; when we have a itinery I will add to the blog.

  1. been pretty quite down here recently.

    A question, when heeled in chop with the open cockpit how will water drain from between the stations?

    this would not be much of an issue if you were short tacking but as quite often happens if your in an irc race there will be a long slog somewhere heeled at 20-30 degrees thats a lot of soup to carry around.
