Julio looking really good. Best of luck the the final finish on the hull. Looking forward to the next update. One question, are you building your own stock in carbon/glass or buying one in?

Looking very good indeed.  Do you have any idea of when she'll first touch the water yet?

Great read Julio, been firing a link to your blog to a lot of mates who are also boat builders, not of rockets but they are all loving it too...

Gareth, thank you for the feedback. That partly explains the monthly increase in visits to the blog.

Barnsie, I do have Skype. When is a good time to chat?

Hi!

I just updated my December blog... again, after managing to delete the first version last week. In December I finished shaping the foils and reinforced them with carbon fibre and fibreglass. I also painted the outside of the hull.

Below is the link to my blog. Thank you for reading it and commenting on my progress.

Cheers!


Julio

Miles, indeed. A lot more could be in progress on the inside at this time. Painting is taking me longer than I expected.

Derik, I'm going to say sometime in the Spring. Depends on my finishing skills... and the ones I need to acquire.

Rob, thank you. I'm close to a name. I'm confident I'll have one when I finish her deck.

Barnsie, I'm really thinking about building my own stock in carbon/glass for a kick-up rudder. Any thoughts/designs?

Thank you, David. I don't have a name for her yet but I'm confident I'll have one soon.
