After such a long time without blogging I will first try to get you up to date:
By now we have got three hulls laminated.
=>The prototype took us all the time from November till today to finish. It is basically complete including rudder box and frame. However she has just got a Hibuild undercoat but hasn’t received varnishing yet. The prototype is currently at Latsch sails who fits the tramps and the boat cover
=> boat number two is nearly done. It is still missing a hood and the portside and starbord carbon tubes for the frame – delivery is accepted after easter. We are currently building the gantry for her.
=> boat three is deck-less right now. However the deck is already laminated. Again we have to wait for the carbon tube delivery as we have to add the mast pole first.

What we are going to do:
We want to laminate a new hull on saturday and finish the gantry for boat # 2. We are also planning to put the centerboard case in boat number 3.

Boat 2 and 3 still need some minor sanding and filling on the hull (each has got 3-4 little spots (1 Cent coin-sized))
When we build the prototype we had problems with vacuum bagging and thus the first hull had airholes all over. We filled and sanded for about 5 weeks straight.

Now that I reflect upon it we put the most money, the most time and the most anticipation in boat number one and build the worst of all our boats. the most expensive and the baddest…
