Small progress on Lady C. some details here: http://www.sportboat18.blogspot.com/

I received the mast and boom from Z spar and the spin pole. I received a couple quotes for the sails, all in the same price range. I have note yet made up my mind on Dacron or composite, since that is about the same.

Also, I am still looking for a trailor. If any one has got a good idea on where to find trailers, let me know.

Thanks

I have noticed that Jacques' SB-18 design has attracted several high quality builders. The boats being produced are drop-dead gorgeous. Very nice work Kereven.

It is cold here and I am not progressing very fast on my little big project. I have redesigned the center board lifting system, as it was to difficult with the system proposed on the drawing. I need to finish the canopy, before I make significant progress now.

All the best for 2011 boat builders and other lucky sailors.

Lady C. is now almost ready for sea trials... Working on the trailer's specs. Still some paint touch up and cabin varnish and a couple nuts here and there. All comes together perfectly. I am very proud of the centerboard lifting system, very efficient and very simple.
