Get Your Heart Racing
The limace Project is to be built over the Slug plug lent to the french fleet.
The boat should looks like Atum Bom with racks.
The boat met the Water on the 1st of april !
She has since done a few race with some success.
After a few breakages (rudder cas, spreader) the boat has been proven fast and well balanced.
2007/2008 winter will is dedicated to some upgrade and finalisation which have never been done.
First of all, the hull will be completely faired and repaint to have a smooth aspect. A new rudder and board will be done and maybe some lethal weapons.
Unveiling day.
was her first time for NBS. In a gently unsteady breeze (4-12 knts) we have been out for the first time.
First good news she floats !!!! The boat seems well born. She is light, strong, responsive and equilibrate. She isn't really hight on the water.
Bad news, the boom is about 10 cm short. Some spliced have moved and some ropes are too long but I did it willingly as it is always hard to theoricly define rope lenght on the shore.
I only broke the jib track due to a mistake from mine. I forgot to add a fix point at its middle. Another identified point to improve is the chute which seems to have to close angle which means the spinnaker doesn't retrieve gently.
As I had so much work to do, I do not have that much pictures :(
