More changes




Since I'm at a stand still in the physical sense, I figured I could go back to drawing. I've had a couple changes I've wanted to mess around with, so today was the day for that. After some experiments with PVC tubes, I've decided that 2m was just to wide for the rack, it was to big of a step from the deck to the tube, so I've brought that back down to 180cm. I just think that's a better distance and will be more comfortable. I also brought the rear wing struts forward on an angle, because if I'm that far back on this thing its not set up right. I also found the time to pull all my bulkhead and rib layout specs from the 3d drawings, so now that's done. Tomorrow I want to work on a new Gantry. I'm thinking with the transom being 15cm shorter at the upper connection point with the new reverse trany, I might want to go with a 40cm gantry instead of a 50cm, just to lower the stress's a little. After that, maybe draw the jigs for building the sweet new rack. So much to do.

I have also added the new pic of the boat on the blog header, looks sexy eh?
