RG65 - Angel Dust

Finally my rg65 project is making some progress. Today i layedup the first hull on a positive mould.
Its a relatively conservative boat nothing extreme yet.
from the simetric shape of the waterlines when heeled i would say that it will be well balanced upwind. At the momemnt the ce leads clr for 12% of lwl, in the future ce will probably be recesed, in search of the weather helm balance that suits my style of sailing.
Anyway here is the "above waterline" sketch:
The displ. Is about 960g, jib:main ratio is 40:60, mast rake 5deg. And freeboard in the fornt 7cm + 3cm.
For starters i will be using a 30cm deep keelfinn, later i plan on developing a keel wich gathers the most of area just below the hull, and the bulb is then supported by a profiled strut.
