Re: CK17 build thread
I am finally finished with the construction of the hull. Still need to finish sealing, fairing and painting, and of course all of the fiddly bits for rigging etc. I pulled it out into the driveway to see how it looked in the sun. I can't believe it but it is actually starting to look like a real boa...

Re: CK17 build thread

I have not sourced the sails per se. I am going to make them out of white heavy duty poly tarp, reinforced with dacron line.
