Hi

Looks awesome... Can you post some pictures of the foot strap once you get it on? I sailed mine without the strap and almost tipped on the maiden voyage when we got caught in a storm.

Looks good! It must have been fun cutting that hole for the spi tube! Build a beautiful hull... just to cut holes in it!

Thanks!

Sure Richard, I'll do. It's very simple though: lap belt (cars) or vest straps sewed with marine resisten thread, some cord and perhaps some elastics to keep them off the bottom.

Also I plan to make an sketch of the Spi setup, launching and recovering system.

Well I admit the feeling was a bit "strange", I was scared! he he but fortunately some epoxi, fillers and biaxial FG can fix almost everything in these boats.

BTW: if you look closely in the spi hole picture you can observe the diffetent layers: epoxi, wood, FG and epoxi again. I have a detailed picture at home which I'll post later because it's very instructive.

Second coat of epoxy primer sanded. Ready to paint:



Here we gooo !!!!! this is the final looks after two coats of paint, sand and two paint coats more. At first I though a dark blue would look nice, sure it wold... but a light color looks nicer in a small hull so I went for that glossy yellow.










Cheers!!

She's a beauty. What paint are you using. Looks like you have a great finish. Did you roll and tip, spray?

Many thanks. I used roller only with a Polyurethane+acrylic enamel of "Titan yate" line, products for yatching from Titanlux paints. Also, the epoxy primer I used is from that brand.
