So, was very busy today, so busy I couldn't get any boat construction "stuff" done. That's not to say nothing "boat related" happened. While "hanging" with my coworkers I came to the realization that I work with all the people that I would need for the perfect build team. I know a form/press builder (Shop foreman Scott Murphy), a PR guy (Jacob Duncan), topnotch craftsman/finisher/daredevil (Cliff "Big Daddy" Wege), and a mad Russian vacuum bag/lamination specialist (Dmitri Panfilov). After some persuasion, each agreed to join my hydrofoil build team, which is good, because there is a ton of work, and every job will be overseen by a specialist as apposed to hacked by me (and I was going to get them to help anyway). We'll see how it works out, I know the boat will be better for it. Now that we have a PR guy, we can even start looking for a project sponsor.
I did get the numbers from Mike over at Aardvark, unfortunatly the foils aren't big enough to lift this boat at a reasonable wind speed, so I'm going to have to go the homebuild route after all, oh well, whats the fun in buying pre-built stuff anyway?
Maybe I'll get some work done tomorrow.
