Dang I see it's nearly a month since my last post! Combination of work and slow progress on the daggerboard. Getting somewhere though. Just added a leading edge dyneema rope for some reinforcement. Final shaping to come and finally the carbon skin, for which I have a vacuum pump, the bagging materials and the valve but not the tubing to connect it all together. Really I've sort of been stalling. Router Jig. I used the router to cut along contour lines. Routed out lines. Planing down to the lines One side roughly shaped Using templates to check shape during sanding Some filler also. And more sanding. Pencil lines are where a rope leading edge will go and where the trailing edge will be cut short. All the different templates I used. Vacuum bagging materials and the leading edge rope. Bevelled Tool used to do the bevelling - screw with edge filed sharp in a cutout of the leading edge. Rope soaking. Dollops
