So something about a rule change requires a saw taking to A&e
Progress so far:
Completely strip all fittings
original daggerboard case unblocked & Daggerboard test fit is a success!!
Mast stump/ compression bars removed
Cut a lot of starboard deck off and try not to damage bulkheads in process
Cut less of the port deck off
Remove 2 foiling daggerbaord cases
Laminate carbon where foiling cases used to be, fill with foam and sand fair so the outer hull shape should be pretty, luckily the way the cases were installed leaves this area “sunk” relative to the rest of the hull skin so the outer skin of carbon we apply won’t mess with hull shape!!
Remove carbon tubes running through hull for wand controls
Original mast position unblocked(half done, will finish when we have the new mast stump so we don’t make the hole too big!!)
Stick some carbon foam sandwich in where v2 mast position was and re seal small deck hole
Remove jib track ears
Trim front of wing bars to shape for mast moving backwards
This required kickbars being trimmed off the front, best keep those bits so I don’t have to make more to put on the wheelie bars later? ( are they still called wheelie bars on a solid deck boat?)
Started cutting carbon foam panel to stick on the back for said wheelie bars not yet complete…..
To do…. Finnish and fair the new edges of the palypen edges….. carbon and vac bag underside of hull shape and glue on panel to back of boat
Use heat gun to remove pro grip from deck
Start planning where I want fittings to go….
Start planning twist grip t foil adjustment
Lots more that I will worry about when we get closer to them!!!
