Put Together




   Lots has been done the past few weeks.  We put together an alignment jig, glued the boat together, and taped most of the boat, (we're waiting for a few more feet.)  On a smaller scale, we built pieces for the traveler track to sink in flush and are currently working on building covers to the beam-hull joint to increase platform stiffness and aesthetic appeal.  The blue foam you see is shaped down and we will use it as a male mold, then will be ground it off.  The boat is really starting to look good and I'll post a few more shots as soon as all the fairing is done.
   Aside from all the boat building, we've been doing some sailing too.  A few of us from Sarasota Youth Sailing took out some of the more veteran cat sailors for a ride they wont soon forget!
