I stuck her together today, she comes to a huge 616mm, all i need to do now is fair in the joins and paint, i have a week to do this, so its not impossible, but it will take a lot of effort!

Was supposed to be my week off it being half term, but no, dues to someone putting a hole in the transom i have had to repair that, which too an age to get right. as i type this the final layer of white primer is drying so that on Monday i can apply some colour to her.

 i am making some sails, (well, trying to) but if anyone has got some vague geometry for a main and jib, i would be very grateful if you could send them to me.

Also spreader height, a rough estimate would be lovely.

Finally got the colour coat on. Its looking pretty sexy if I do say so myself. Tomorrow I will paint the deck and make some sails for her and we should be almost finished!

I don't know how you lot make the real things!

Really, really beautiful...

...when will full-size 3D printing in carbon fibre become feasible?

That is a lovely looking model. Well done Jamie. Don't let Clive see it or he will have Alex test sailing it before the weeks out!
nice in orange as well.

Jamie, we make the full size ones in bigger pieces and there is more sanding to do.

Well its all done and dusted (literally!)
This is her all set up in the exhibition space.
 The main has too much return in the head, this could be because there are no controls on so there is a really floppy leach, might be able to fix it by canting the rig over, but for non sailors, it does the job.


Thank you everyone for your help, especially Clive Everest for letting me use his hull, and Roland for some 3D printing/lots of answers to stupid questions
