Getting Furthur race-ready for the DIYC Classic

Furthur's new home at DIYC

Stripping the old pipe berths out. They are nasty 70's cloth that is heavy and absorbs water like a sponge. We will make new ones out of mesh to dry quickly for the Pacific Cup.

We will soon be stripping the lettering off Saltshaker, she will be re-christened as Furthur.


Removing the mast step so we can reinstall it straight. The tape is to keep water out of the holes and balsa core while we work on it.

Bunks are gone, so is the sun.

Over the weekend and today while Cody and I were at DIYC, Sheehan began filling the blisters in the rudder as well as fairing the tip. Here it is curing on my bed...


We still have plenty to do before the DIYC Classic this weekend, but it is very doable. More updates to follow as we keep working.
