Progress has been steady even though I didn't get a chance to post an update last week, and am a day behind for this week... (I try to post updates every Sunday night)
The mast and keel mount design/implementation is finally completed. I also re-installed rudder tubing because the previous tubing was deemed too narrow for the job. The rudder I had made with the previous diameter brass rod flexed under it's own weight - which did NOT seem good. I am using much thicker brass now and almost have finished the new rudder.
Unfortunately I have not yet ordered my radio & servos. This is more intentional than me being behind schedule. Even though it's not a terribly large purchase, I'm trying to keep expenses to a minimum until my finances can justify it (which, with any luck, is looking to be sooner than later)
I will definitely be able to begin water proofing the inside of the hull within the next few days thanks to a really nice kit my Dad put together with everything needed to work with epoxy resin and fiberglass (see picture in sailboat page).
The progress doesn't look too impressive, but I am happy with what has been accomplished these past two weeks given the brief moments of time I get to work on it. 😉
Several new images were added to the Sailboat page showing the progress, and the awesome 'fiberglass kit' compliments of my Dad! 🙂
