Finished the planking last night for the mold. I'll be fairing it the rest of the week, and hope to lay glass this weekend!

nice! What about the keel?

Nice work!

Make sure to wear protection when sanding (I didn't when I was (much) younger, and now I can barely stand sanding or other dusty jobs, beware, it'll catch you in time...)!

What hull is that?

Regards, Jan.

I'm still young and stupid. inhaling dust is what it's all about! lol. Thanks for the heads up.

It's a custom hull I designed and am building (obviously). It wll feature the canting keel design I posted up in the "cant this" thread.

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

Looking good!

You might want to reconsider the rather big angle the rudder will be (relative to the vertical) turning at, once the boat heels and you apply rudderthrow, the bow will be either be pushed down or lifted up, depending on which way the rudder moves, that can't be good for boathandling and speed.

Regards, Jan.

we'll see about the rudder- the computer says it's much faster.
