September 29, 2003

September is pretty much a write-off for me every year. Between the start of another academic year, and the ragweed pollen season, I'm not good for much. Add to this that I've begun taking classes in html and programming, and you can see why progress has been a bit slow.

But a few things have gotten done. I'm about a third of the way through with the outer layer of the hull sheathing. I've roughed out the blanks for all of the blocks. The very first parts for the centerboard trunk are begun, and I'm pretty sure I've come up with a simple and robust centerboard pivot that keeps the through-hull well above water level.
