I think that the Cornish beer might be changing him.

The Bowsprit has very reluctantly come off the mandrel.

The kick bars and the rear wing supports are glued in and will be laminated in tomorrow.

Tim's "nice lounging platform" has now gone so we might as well fit it out.

Perhaps a mod for the future, no kick / trip bars.

I did not allow quite enough for the gaps between the panels, when I had them water cut, so the gunwale on the edges of the wings have had to be bent down slightly further than I intended to fit max beam.

That is starting to look like one mean rocket.

Our one in December used the shelving and a spanish windlass - 5mm dyneema with visible stiffening of the threads when finished showing it was working fiarly hard. Nicks video of removal the time before. For some reason that shape is prone to sticking.

Think it is time to set up a bit of Wiki to record just how many different people have popped one off Paul's wooden scaffold pole.

Keep it clean please BS,
we don't want to know how many people have "popped one off Paul's wooden scaffold pole"

Clive what a fantastic design! Are you going to make the gunwhale forward of the shrouds thicker than they currently are? They look fantastic that thin but do also look mighty knife like! Thus quite painful if you go for a swing! Great looking boat thought, very jealous!

Hi Daryl,
There will be a length of 8mm pultruded carbon rod set into the edge of the foam around the entire periphery of the boat.
I have made an adaptor for the dremel to accurately cut a semi circular grove, the rod will be let in and then taped over.
You can see this on the wing return at the bottom of the last picture.
This should make the edge much more robust and will give it some radius.
In a year of sailing Subtle Knife I do not think that we ever hit the forward gunwale.
There may be an issue with grip when Alex trapezes off it in light winds.
If so we will have to deal with it.
I was looking at the tread of some ultra skinny road bike tyres, just got to find out how to glue them on so that they do not come off.
