Picked up some more bits today! More to fiddle with when the time comes. Loads of uni work at the moment so the build is still on hold.

Update: Finances have put the build on hold a little longer than expected but the postie brought me some presents today. They are ex I14 so may be a bit big but it is easier to make them smaller rather than bigger! Will Aardvark supply a bare t-foil blade to add to this rudder? I have been promised workshop space close to my new job so I stand a chance of turning this boat into reality in the near future!

John, Do you still want some tube? I can post it if it helps and you pay the postage?

I did not know that laying cloth at 45 degs was so hard! Here is a picture of the port topside if anyone is interested.

I was going to post:
If you are not vaccing I would recommend using gravity to hold things in place!"
(i.e. spin the shell and light the lamp, not the rat)[/b] Then I noted that the floor was vertical in your shot  Looks good. |

Big sheets are tricky, however for going around sharp corners and edges 45's are much eisier |

Took the peel ply off the topsides today and can confirm that they are amazingly stiff. However, due to the lack of vac bag facilities they will need to be faired more than I would have thought is usual.

Topsides don't need to be very fair. Only aesthetically fair. The bottom panel is the important one!
Good effort on the progress. I might be joining you and john for you boat building goodness in a couple of weeks.

Got the bow on and the snout tube test fitted. The actual bow will be a low density foam fairing added to the flat bow you see here at the moment. This is because in my experience this area takes a beating especially from the trailer so the theory is it would be nice to have a non structural area that can just be filled etc as required. I think the bow will be like Loco Perro but I have not studied it in great detail so I can not be sure. Perhaps Simon or someone else with some knowledge of the boat can help me out.

A faired in snout gives a little more buoyancy when you stick the bow in as apossed to a dolphin stricker which doesn't.

Although this is true, I think that when you have got to the point that you are relying on snout buoyancy to save you, you've probably gone swimming anyway!
