Default RE: custom hull update

Update:
I've finished the mold, laid two layers fiberglass, and seperated the two in the past week. Pretty stoked to have a hull. Today I went ahead with cutting and shaping the keel strut and rudder. I'll fair them, and prep for glass work. I plan on making the keel strut in two 1/2s. Then using foil shaped joiners inside the two and epoxy them together with a final 2nd layer of glass around the entire thing. I'm also working on shaping the canting keel head structure (alloy) that will be epoxied inside of the keel strut.

But I couldn't resist using some double sided tape to tape them in place for a moment to see how freaking cool it's going to look! I'm pretty stoked at the moment!

Enjoy
