Yes, but real work will stall progress for the next couple months.
But I did get to seam up the Main and Mizzen panels over at Hogin recently. I had a spool of red thread left over from building some Starbuck sails so why not?
Felt good to get back on the Cortes.

It took me a moment to process what I was seeing, there...
Why it's a .75" seam with a single row of triple step in 92 of course.
But I see what you mean. I think that's the Main.
I marked the waterline with a laser and put on a first coat of epoxy/graphite.

I hope you're keeping Mssr Bedard apprized of your progress!
When i get around to building the Caravelle, it will be nothing as exotic as your RoG!
Progress looks spectacular!
Lots of carbon fiber was used. Did the designer specify the carbon fiber or was it builder’s choice?

Happy Holidays!
Designer is aware of me switching some carbon for his 6oz glass. He's mildly amused.
I extended the bottom and boot stripe onto the transom. It didn't look right in white.
