jif update

the jif 65 is comming along nicely the deck was glued on and the hull was laminated.
ready for deck and lamination

the aft par of deck structure
the deck was glued on with thick CA glue, it is a 2x 80 g7m2 glass laminate
the hull was laminated with 1x 50g/m2 + 2x 20g/m2 glass and is now sanded awaiting 2k paint
i am not happy with the weight increase, 72g is what 3layers of wood varnish on the inside, the deck and the lamination have brought so far.



the deck looks like this, the two holes in the back are as by plan, the forward ones will provide acees for gluing the shrouds and the fore stay to the bottom of the boat and for adjusment of the mast post( a 5% variation of CE is posible. with blocks the mast can be mowed forward and backward, rake wil be adjusted up to 5 degrees backwards)


Now the mission is to build a thin(3mm thick) finn and a rudder.
After that two riggs will be build a swing and a classic.
