Hull is planked and ready for glassing

Race #2 Done!!

Here are some pics from the Vancouver Race. It was my second race so I am still figuring things out. It was a very long race with two upwind legs and a sweet downwind leg. The race took place on English Bay







Here I am psyching myself up for a long cold race.

Houseboat Progress- Hull framed up

I dry fitted all the pieces today. This weekend I will glue them up.

Houseboat progress

Time for an update. All of the stringers are built, the sides are planked, puttied and sanded. The next step is glassing the sides and then forming the hull. I should have the hull planked in the next couple of weeks.

Here is a pic of the 2 sides planked and sanded ready for glassing. The stringers are not set in place yet. I thought I would glass the sides when they are flat as opposed to glassing them when they are on their sides.

My First Outrigger Race

Well, I did it, I completed my first outrigger race Jan 12 on Lake Union. Here are a few pics.
