Little parts

This is probably the most enjoyable part of my rebuild. Construction is wrapping up on a couple of parts. I've made jib-cleat stands. I'm also ready to glue on some supports for the centerboard trunk.

Two carbon plates, glued at just under 90 degrees.
Then I sanded it all up, laid two layers of +-45degree pre-preg cloth. Then I made a bleed stack, vacuum bagged it and cooked it for 8 hours.

Unwraped it, cut the edges off with a band saw, and routed the corners

Then I traced some cleats

More cutting, grinding, and sanding, then about 3 coats of some really cool clear stuff.

Ok, that's all for this post. I'll make another one in a sec. Lots of work getting done, all will be presentable soon. I'm very satisfied with the progress. I'm also thinking that I am ready to shape my own Centerboard...hmm
