Oh!
Hence the cheek pieces on the tiller head....
Clever!
Dang, what a bang!
need some rubber nips on those tips.
interesting... I hope they don't get in the way of the main sheet.
When does Kestrel splash???
that's a good point.
What about putting a 'shelf' across the top?
Joe figured it in one. The ears are to keep the rudder from jamming over ...
I know what you mean about the mainsheet. The effect of the ears will be determined as the boat is sailed.
The bottom has been sanded and is being readied for paint. More pictures as soon as I can get back down to visit.
Thanks Walberts for keeping us all posted on Ariel Numero Uno!!
Do we get to see your baby?
Maybe not that important here, but rudder limits have not been big in discussion in this Forum, why did John G feel they were necessary?
A few more interior and exterior shots of Kestrel. The cradle has been removed and she is blocked up for transport. She could be launched this Friday. Bottom paint will go on Thursday.
