New Ellway 7 Build

[PaulJ]

After a visit from Graham on Sunday, we now have a plan B

If the weather plays ball we will briefly launch on Friday afternoon have a quick sail and then pack up and head straight for the dinghy show. We still have 28 items on the to do list though :-) to complete before adding water

That's only 7 a day, or about one an hour, should have time for a cuppa inbetween !

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.

Loco was designed with the same box system, so there is a box under the floor. All be it a lot further forward than the current board position. We moved it a long way back after initial sailings. If I remember correctly.




You can see the old board position here -

Thanks Daryl...and thanks for the higher res version of that iconic capsize. One for my gallery

Cool Beans hits the water just prior to the dinghy show, all went well, plenty of fine tuning to be done though :-)
