Lots of news to report on our Schionning Arrow 1280S.
We have completed joining the starboard hull panels and bulkheads and are now working on fairing.
Bulkheads mounted to strongback.
Hull panels getting glued onto bulkheads
We had to strip plank the hull panel to get the shaped we needed.
Getting a composite panel to flex is not easy. To protect the core we made blocks to prevent crushing the core.
Some glue and laminate to strengthen the panel.
Fairing added and the torture boarding has begun.
Fairing in work.
Lots of sanding in progress.
Our carbon fixed rig with park avenue boom is in work by Bart at NZ rigging and should be in our hands spring 2019. Our rigging will be Aramid and rod for the diamonds. We decided to go with a non rotating rig to keep things simple. http://nzrigging.com/
Our sails are also in work in the land of the long white cloud. Rodney Keenan, a friend and adviser is building our sails. We have chosen Evolution Lite Skin for our main and head sails (Self tacking jib and Screecher). https://www.evolutionsails.com/
