not much
I've really been slacking off on the build front. I have been working 40 hrs a week at my real job, and 20-25 hrs a week At EBS (doing my best to soak in as much about the dark arts as possible). In some ways its a really good thing because all this knowledge and skill that I'm gaining will lead to much better boats, and I'm saving some money to buy supplies, but its drawing away any energy and time I would have for the build. I did get out and sand for a couple hours tonight, and I'm really going to try to get back on track a little. It seems its taking forever to build this thing, but its happening, slowly, but it is happening.

At the start of your project I think you were planning to use a trapeze. After a summer of learning to sail the Moth (after 20 years of trap sailing) I would say that combining a narrow hull and a trap will make the sailing extremely difficult. If you have a chance to sail a moth before committing on the width of the racks (trap width vs sitting out width) it would be a good thing.
Good luck with the project.
The trapeze was the whole premise of the design, So I will be sticking with it. If its harder to sail so be it. There is a trapeze foiler in Aus and it is kind of a handful to sail, but its doable. I'm not really looking to build a big moth, but a trapeze foiler, and it would be hard to do that if there was no trapeze ;p.
