I'm not so sure what's going on there, but alot of the photos have beer bottles in hand. you sure little elves don't come out at night and do it while you're all asleep drunk?

 

Looks awesome though!!

Sounds exciting Mr Wolf. Looking forward to the photo's. I must say the dedication to photographing the construction and sharing is fantastic as it would be much easier to not do so. Will this end up being the longest subject in Crew.org history?

I think this whole forum is fantastic. I am an engineer but have not done alot of work with carbon. I think it is fantastic to see how the inner structure has been fitted to the outer skin. Hat off to you FNG and good work Mr Wolf! keep the pics flowing..

Yeah - what he said, only I'm not an engineer! Awesome Mr Wolf!!

Those are good questions. Mine were alot simpler:

Which is dearer all the carbon or all the green tape?

Wouldn't the amas weigh less without all the green tape?

Are you going to paint over the green tape or around the green tape seeing as the boat is green?

[timberwolf]

Nice looking rudder Tim. Love that carbon!

Oooh black stuff. How cool is that! Gonna be quite light then Mr Dubyah? That is a great picture collection on "how to". Looking good!

I think in cruise mode the Ant floats a good couple of inches lower in the water and because that bow area is empty I fill it up with fridge, dive tanks, and as much crap as I can stuff in there. It sails around like a minitun! But the bbq lives in the boat, cos during a race if it's a real drifter, I can light up the bbq, rustle up a couple of steaks and demoralise Knot Me and Fish who will be to leeward and behind.
