Very nice job Paul,

I can't wait to see it in the Carbon. I am sure all the effort and attention to detail will pay off with a super reliable boat. Would love to see a photo of the boat on the water if that is possible.

We are still aiming to go for launch on Sunday.  Stills loads to do plus the weather doesn't look like it will play ball. Hannah is coming out in a rib to snap away, plus we may get the go pro set up as well.

I'm actually looking forward to a dinghy show, can't wait to see these.

Couple of questions:

Does you board have a square top?

Are the black angles at the front  for tech?

Paul,

I'm delivering the Tres to a new owner in Ramsgate on Sunday early afternoon...will you be launching at Weir Wood?

Roughly what time? (interlopers with [2nd] video camera welcome?)

Mine's a cheapo ATC mini but still reasonable quality, can be a headcam or mounted around eg mast,

Roland. The daggerboard is a normal shape and fIts into a cassette that is currently removed, this acts as a crash structure in the event of a grounding. It also allows the daggerboard to be moved fore and aft 50mm or so .

The forward carbon bits were for the rig controls but are now not required and are due for removal in the near future or conversation to drinks bottle holders

Torchy - yes launching at Weir Wood on Sunday will be there most of the day, Maff may be along as well with video. Weather looking variable so check back on Saturday night for go no go

That is a very neat idea.

I had been considering a similar thing for Loco so that boards with different sections can be used....this is because Loco has a 'fat' slot and I'm planning to make a skinny board - I hadn't thought of enlarging the slot in the boat tho'...hmmmm....neat.

The cassette is machined from foam (1 side only), laminated with a couple of layers of glass and then two halves are glued together with a carbon capping. Note that there is also a cardon plate inset flush with the bottom of the hull.

The cassette won't be bonded in permanently just a couple of dabs of sekaflex to stop it lifting out with the daggerboard
