Fila #2

The past week a guy hit me up, via our national forum saying that he would like to have a F5g sailboat i was selling one from a friend, he also said that he has a fila hull, in original condition.
For about a year i've been trying to find such a hull/mould, so i could copy and build another fila, as good as it could be.

This was the boat from the friend, a competitive narrow design(hull same as  #93, second in championship)
I have sailed this boat before, it sailed well

It was sitting for about 3 years, so i gave it a clean and brought the rigg up to specs(new lines if damaged, seams checked/corrected etc.)
It went with a b-rigg and another big jib, servos included

i got the fila hull, as it came out of the mould about 10-11 years ago

it's weight is 429g, battleship kind of weight

If it's designer agrees i will do a copy, the goal for glassfibre version is 300g(hull and deck)
and 250 for carbon version(both nonvacumed)

It is not perfect

some original defects

The gelcoat was brushed into the mould and is uneven

I can imagne that this was really the best possible boat to start your model sailing career, it had lots of volume, easy to sail, plenty of material not to sand through and relatively easy to build.
The plan now is to finish the evolution project. Then make a light 2piece mould(so this hull does not get damaged) and go from there.
