Nice!
put some risers in for the rear beams!
look at the pics of newer VWM blades and you will see that they are raised a little. Having never sailed one without, i don't know how much the beams smack the water but it can make a big difference.

Tony, why the carbon cloth?? Have you added carbon fibers to the underside of the beam seats and down the hullsides as well?

Looks like you are making progress, which is always good. Have you dared to weight the hulls yet?

I sanded hull panel #4 last night, ready for glassing on the outside today or tomorrow.

She maybe plywood on the out side but she has lots of carbon and kevlar inside.

Last time I weighed Bitsa, she weighed less than 23kgs per hull.

My carbon mast arrived the other day. Just got to put it back togeather after Bitsa goes to the paint shop, by new dead line number 5672, Sept 30.
