I made some progress on the centerboard. I completed all the shaping and sanding and the board is now ready for fiberglass. I was concerned about the stiffness of the board before I started sanding but that greatly improved with hydrofoil shape.
Next step, glass it.
I also have an update on the beam construction. I'm having difficulty locating the heavyweight unidirectional glass specified by the plans. I've sent off a couple of emails to see if I can special order the material or if I can use an alternate laminate schedule. All the material I've order so far has come form Noah's Marine Supply of Toronto. I know it is a Canadian company, eh, but they have a US shipping location so you don't have to deal with customs plus their prices are really good. They are also very helpful and friendly. I give them a high recommendation. I hope they come through for me. So, take off you hoser!
Later eh!
