Third Board...

Now that I had the hull 3-D.  I could work on finishing the out side.  On to the epoxy and fiberglass... First I had to fair the bottom chines by rounding them over.  I used a belt sander and my eye.  I worked at this until I had what I thought was a fair rounding of the chines.  I then sanded the bottom clean and fair.  When that was done I had to wait a couple of days for the Duckworks supplied epoxy and fiberglass to arrive.  When it did I then had to wait for good weather.  In the mean time I worked on the rudder and lee board.  The rudder is an encased  kick up rudder with a weighted blade that will self tend in the case of shallows.  When beaching it can be pulled up with a lanyard and secured with  a jamb cleat.  I made all of the fitting myself, except the jamb cleat which I got from Duckworks Boat Builder Supply.  I got much of the hardware that I have needed from them.  The lee board is a Michalak style foil.  I really like how this style of lee board works.  No centerboard case.  It can be removed easily and replaced easily...  How cool.
