Stephen,
Thank you for all the pictures. Please keep them coming. This is SO much fun to watch, and you make it look so easy. Maybe others will be inspired.
Question: What are the challenges around temperature in your build space?

What he said. Maybe you will hold a holiday open house? If you hold it we would come. I'll even bring eggnog and nutmeg!
Open house is a fun idea.

Centerboard trunk and aft stringers are glued in.
Happy Holidays.
I did a little test of 6 oz fiberglass tape versus 4.4 oz biax carbon. A blindfolded team of composite specialists deemed the carbon stiffer!
Tabbing with the 4.4 oz carbon and peel ply.
Outboard compartments are the water ballast tanks.
Great seeing this project coming along!
Nice work!
What is the volume of the water ballast tanks?
