Mark, thanks for asking. I decided that, since we still have some snow on the ground and temps in the 20 and 30's, it would be best to order the boards pre-cut as a kit....it will be trucked to Baltimore sometime early to mid next month. I got a hold of a nice piece of 5/4 x 12" by 10 foot white oak, and I'm going to rip that puppy down to 5/4 x 5/4 x 60" strips to laminate together using WestSystem® Epoxy this coming weekend. Then using foil offsets from NACA I'm making some templates of the NACA0012 offsets on 12" and 10" chord lengths...then the fun begins with shaping the laminated rudder blank down to an acceptable shape based on the NACA templates using a 4.5" grinder and #24 pad. After that, I decide whether or not I want to do the same thing with 2 inch lumber to shape the keel foil. I've amassed about 100 pounds of lead from a friend who is a stained-glass contractor (does big church restoration jobs) and I need to carve a foam bulb (male mould) so that a foundry (in the same neighborhood) can cast the bulb for us. So, it's sort of coming along, but nothing big will happen until that truck pulls up with the crate of plywood parts. That reminds me, I better start clearing out some space somewhere! :lol: I'll keep ya posted, tf Sailor Chef wrote: > Tim, what's the status of the i550.
