Yay! The backordered ArduPilot Mega has arrived! I also have picked up one of the heading sensors.
Progress has been very slow this past month. In fact, I haven't done much since about mid-November other than obtain a few electronics parts and purchase some rip-stop nylon for the sails. I did manage to rig up the rudder servo (video of it has been posted on the Hardware section, and can also be seen here). You can see some very minor progress on the hull lids in the video as well.
I don't plan to do much with the microcontroller just yet as I really want to finish the first stage of getting the boat out in the water. More progress to come...
