Last night I had a long talk with Ben Doolittle (Carbon Offset). Talking to him, then going back through his blog, got me back into the build mode. So this morning I woke up ready to go at it! I went outside, cut my foil blank to length, and realized that before I could even begin fairing I had some serious work to do! My foil looked more like an airplane wing than an assymetrical foil. Since I want to be able to go upwind on both tacks, I decided to fix it now. Today I had the help of my son Francisco,
If you listen to him, he'll tell you he did all the work, and the pictures prove it!
So now it's ready for fairing, and my boss just called and said I'll be working tomorrow and all next week. But I'll put the time in where I can, I've got the glass to wrap it now, and I'm eager to get started on the sleeve too.
Fantastic Rocky, Francisco has done a great job on that keel blade. Did you at least hand him a beer when he needed it while doing ALL that work for you.
