Default NEW THREAD NAME: Let's Fix Bluey

Lets fix Bluey,
Why bother looking for the old Keel when you can make your own! What youll end up with is some lead whieghts sourounded by fiberglass-epoxy. For that wonderfull mast, you can find some carbon fiber TUBES NOT STICKS that will make good lightweight jobies. And your right, if there are two holes for the mast, each one will make the boat perform differently acording to the current wind situations. Moving the mast forward will improve handling while back improves pointing (into the wind)but is on the verge of out of control.

I'll have pictures/ diagrams of what to do with your mast tomorow or the day after. :stupid:
