Skin started


Was blowing blue stink today (40 from the north). Working in the boat on stands made me more nervous than I think I would have been sailing in the same conditions! The core appears to have set well in place. Today I added an 8" 6K carbon fiber strap directly under the traveler. I ran it up the back of the seat and down the seat front. This should give me a little extra strength / less flex in this area where the traveler loads are high. Next will come the layer of 14.5oz glass over the carbon and the rest of the seat, and then a final layer of carbon 3K over the whole thing.
