• This Fontaine 36 is coming togther quickly.
  • And over it went, yesterday.
    • Looks strip planked? Whew, when you said went over I thought in the wind...
      • Cold molded veneer, Westie. It's over some frames but,
      • Looking at the construction pictures it looks to be cold molded over strip planking
    • Looks light.
      • I don't know for sure. 3/4" perhaps?
        • Draft with centerboard.
          • I think they have the right scale in the design.
            • hope they have enough rudder
              • That's why it has rudders, I think(2 in fact).
                • Yeah but...
                  • My main point is the rudders could be a design compromise
              • Rudder design.
