Almost there
After round one: filling the lows, cheese grating was due, and then: The big fill. I have experienced that adding enough filler to avoid having to re fill low areas saves a lot of work. A bit more sanding, but if you make your compound light and use fresh paper on the torture board it is not that bad. Several re fillings however can be bad due to different hardness etc leading to new lows etc etc, you get the picture. However, I have not yet been able to add enough in the big fill to get there. But better all the time. Filling and fairing looking in different angles at different stages

Hi Tor,
Looks nice, I like the new negatif bows. Don't take too long and get sailing as soon as possible before the season is over.

Hi Tor,
Do you think that your boat see the water this year?
Regards.
Arno
Sorry Arno, but the blog is not quite up to date. I've sailed three races, one with no wind and two without full or trained crew. So far it seems like there is no adverse effect of my mod, the bows bury just as soon though, but it seems the boat doesn't decelerate just as badly and the bow seems to recover better. Water ballast tank just finished with controls, will be tested tomorrow.
Regards,
Tor
Nice you can see the difference and especially it recovers better and next year also some foils what helps to keep the bows up.
Regards,
Arno
