I have made some adjustments in the drawing since last time. Apart from minor polishing of the rod and tires, I fired up the cockpit 5 cm. To be slightly front-heavy when stationary, but more in the wave around the cruising speed. Is it supposed ia f..
Then I pulled down the width to 46 cm, giving a displacement of just under 110 kg. Should provide a lively kayak with more focus on the smooth water / competition. The waterline will be 44-43 something and IOM that the seat is low (to begin with ..) to the well to keep some sort of balance anyway ..

As usual, Johan Wirsen delivered wood, 4 mm sliced ​​& sautéed pine moldings, and BHP plastic. Though this time I have invested in more candy, or how about, 6 m carbon fiber, 14 m 163g / m and 10 m 80g / m fiber, 10 m directed kolremsa and adhesives, release agents and color paste. In addition to 9 kg epoxy.
Previous years when I've built at Rooseum was no problem with making byggjiggen in conventional 2 × 4, but now that I did not have access to dry wood was not quite enticing.

    Oh yes, faux pas are usually able to sneak with whether you like it or not. First, as I see them directly (and can do if / do the right thing at once), and those who I did not notice - until afterwards / late (GOD forbid) ..!

    Regarding color the tips I have not quite made up my mind yet, leaning towards white or black / white. But it would begin to pull the yellow / red, I must come back ..
