    Looks great, Frederik!

    Your boat is a work of art and engineering.

    She's looking marvellous!

    It's not much fun seeing your creation swinging aloft like that.  I still recall the heart-stopping turning-her-over-to-put-on-the-keel day,  It was terrfying!  

    Here's a photo, to remind you of why you're doing all this!!

    One step closer. 

    Boat now moved to take in ballast and finish some last projects  like sorting out the mizzen  

    4000 kg. Clean on the hook. 2000 kg ballast to be installed.

    Mast 165 kg. Including the attached partners. 

    Mainsail rigged. My guess. 65 kg.

    I followed the instructions that came with the spartite. 
    It pours easy and is self leveling. Short pot life. Max 10 minutes..

    I put tape around the edge of the partners so the hardened spartite is over the top edge of the partners and should be watertight there. 

    After lining up the mast with short wedges, I built a dam from below with supplied foam rolls and modeling clay. Then I poured the fluid spartite between mast and partners up til the wedges. Let that harden up. 24 hours later I removed the wedges and made the final pour. 
    Total height of the spartite wedge is 7,5-8 cm. 

    the Weicon 85 was not as fluid and more difficult the use. Not such good self leveling properties, but longer pot life to work it in place.

    Fantastic work, Frederik! I like a lot how you solved the mast wedges. Would you mind to tell a bit more on how you poured the wedges?

    The glass blasting gives an outstanding surface finish, beautiful! 

    If one day you feel like those hexagon head screws are a bit ugly on deck... maybe have a look at the screws according to ISO 7380 ;-)

    Wow!

    She looks sturdy and beautiful….

    I like very much the daggerboard too.

    Looking forward to see her on the water and hear how she sail!!!

    Congratulations Frederik
