Hull n Rig

We have been a bit remiss in updating the blog, but that doesn't mean we have come to a stand-still although a bit more time dedicated to the project would be welcome. Another push coming on though!The hull and main bulkheads are all taped in and we have been playing with the rig and starting to produce some of the details. No problems with the hull, we we able to comfortably stand in the boat and tape, the boat getting stiffer all the while. Even the bow are was easy to finish with the flat stem and generous fillets.

We have fitted the outhaul in the boom, we have gone for a 4:1 purchase at this stage. We are using Dyneema 6mm and Tylasker spool shackles (just because they are easy!). We will probably use the same technology on the tack too.
