A couple of carbon plates laminated onto the sprit (with a wrap of carbon around it), ready to be drilled for the forestay sheave.
Laminating carbon gudgeons on to the rudder (with a piece of G10 tube for the actual bushings).
Foredeck painted. White to keep things cool in the sun.
The rotating gantry is coming together: Carbon bushings will allow it to rotate while G10 thrust plates on the ends lock the transom shape in and add to the overall structure. One control line will swing the rudder forward, while a length of stretch cord will sweep it aft.
And now primed. Notice the short length of G10 tube bonded to the floor with a bit of carbon uni - this will anchor one end of the hiking strap. A mounting pad has also been added for the turning blocks for the gantry control lines.
The T-Foil and rudder have come together permanently. The T-foil is bonded in with a slight positive angle of attack when the rudder is vertical.
More rigging details. Two small bits of G10 tube bonded for lacing the end of the spinnaker sock too, and a small pad for mounting the spin downhaul turning block.
More G10 tube used in the outside aft corners of the wings - for the mainsheet bridle and the spin ratchet blocks.
