Wow that is impressively quick Simon. The female moulds just reduce the 'finishing' time of a boat so greatly. Have you decided on a colour scheme yet?!

[simon_jones]

We think so 

[phil_kirk]

Ok John. I await your call.   Good luck with the exams.

[john_hamilton]

ok, have just come back from a 350mile road trip to IOW to collect, awesome looking!!!
phil, are you available anytime in the week 12-18th July???#

also, has anyone got a spare 05 rules kite suitable for an E5, i.e. relatively high aspect ration/ flatish

[Will_Lee]

Good news - now a summer of sticky before hitting the wet stuff in time for the nationals.

Send a picture!

[phil_kirk]

Sorry John,  That is a busy week for work.  Also Thornbury regatta on the 17-18th.

Can we chat to go through the calander to see if there are some opportunities in the following week?

otherwise i may be able to do something in the second week of August 9th-13th after the ent nationals. sarah may also be able to help too.

The other way is to spend an evening making some of the bits and a day somewhere else sticking things together.

Where are you? if not so far from me it may be possible to do it this way.  PM or call to discuss. ta.

I am very envious, I am still waiting for something to get sticky with. Have you still got the white Hyde kite that came with Cheese? it is a new ex Daemon kite that was a bit flat for Cheese but should be good on an E5

Where's the pics John? We are are also still waiting, role on sat 3rd July

When you arrange a date, can we come and play boat building too please?

[john_hamilton]

ill have to ask my parents, but you probably can
ill keep u all updated, it all depends on how phil wants to do it of course

[phil_kirk]

It's up to you at the end of the day John and your parents (sponsors).

The more the merrier.

I'm offering my recent experience of E5 building to help you on the way and ensure you end up with a sound, light and competative boat.

We just need to fix a date and ensure that we have all the materials and consumables available.

Gantry mould and Pole mandrel required i think.  Are these available Dave?  If so can they find themselves a lift back to Bristol perhaps.

[Born Slippy]

Both are welcome to come via BGM and the Poole regatta?

[john_hamilton]

that would be good, but im not there

also, the boat has a name:

"anatidaephobia" - the fear that somewhere, somehow a duck is watching you!

[john_hamilton]

we laminated the bulkhead and spine panels on friday night over at the kirks, they have turned out very light and stiff, when cutting the spine panels today, me and digby wondered about the best way of connecting them together?
bog and a carbon layer?

[john_hamilton]

well me and my gran stuck the spine together today, we used the same carbon as the panels had, with a little reinforcement on the end bit of the join. to fill any gaps left by our dubious cutting yesterday, we used a mainly silica based bog to fill the gaps, then laminated each side. The process seems to have gone well, but we shall see how strong it is tommorrow. we are trying to help the curing along with some floodlights before we get a fan heater, pictures below
