Default RE: Hull designs

I did the Luna Rossa from velarc. I bought the rigging from GBMY. It is fast in the light air and handles slightly less wind that my CR914. I built keel out of plywood, 4 layers sanded down and faired. Balast Bulb bought from GBMY (IOM ballast). rudder was balsa. Balsa planked and epoxyoed with 4 coats faired after each. Took a while to build but was my first scratch boat and no issues. I'll take pics and post ASAP. Still havenlt finished detils on paint job, but hull is painted and clear coated.
