The box isn't glued in yet. The hole for the mirage drive is cut, but I'll need to reshape it so it can do double duty as daggerboard slot. For that I'm at least need a template for the foil, if no...

Starting to shape up. The head scratching really slowed me down. But once things got going the log jam broke.

Cutting a hole with a 10.75" hole saw using a cordless drill was "exciting"

I went from something that could theoretically be called a boat, to a Chinese submarine!

I don't know how I convinced myself that this part would be exciting. It wasn't, it was awful lol!

Milestone reached! I actually got in the boat for the first time. I've been concerned with the strength of the structure without the support given by water. Now that the seat stringers are epoxied ...

@Kellan Hatch it was my plan to do the standard sliding hatch with turtle as well, until reading Colin saying it wouldn't work. Still not sure WHY though. I really like what you did with yours. Whe...

Here is the ama liberated from the block of foam. Sorry the pic is so bad, but I had to wait until the storage facility was getting ready to close before bringing it from my house. Threw it on the ...

Also I've been working with Grok, iterating on the changes I'm planning. For anyone that hasn't tried AI yet, you are in for a surprise! I drug my feet feeling like the last thing I wanted was to i...

The weather is starting to warm up nicely here so I'm back to work. I decided that the finish level I had left the sleeping compartment at, wasn't as fine as I had decided earlier. Even though I th...

Question about same sized main and mizzen (Manawa et al)posted in Builders Forum
Before choosing the sails I did, I tried to find a source to buy the hobie rigs. I'm guessing I didn't look hard enough, but I could only easily find the sails for sale. Not the complete rigs

I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but just learned about coldcure from system 3. It will cure at temperatures down to 35 degrees apparently. Does anyone have experience using this product?

@Kellan Hatch I'm in an unheated storage shed, while only slightly warmer. I'm not really sure how I'm going to get much progress done on items too big to bring home with me

@Kellan Hatch Somehow I missed your question. I've never even seen a mirage drive in person, so this will be a learning experience for me

@Kellan Hatch I also have hatches to give access to the flotation chambers. I'm definitely going to be "tactically acquiring" your idea to improve the access holes

Well, after literal hours of searching, I found a mirage 180 kick up w/turbo fins for $200 off. Success!

I know I'll want to reinforce it quite heavily to redistribute the loads. But without a mirage drive in hand I'm stuck for now. Can't close the float chambers without reinforcing. Can't reinf...
