Formula Boats (U-5) Project

With roughly a week and a half to go before the first race of the season, more work has been completed on the 2008 Formula Boats U-5. While nothing was done on Monday, March 23 due to a 12 hour work day, work did continue in the U-5 shop on Tuesday night when the first coat of primer was sprayed.




There are pinholes on the deck that weren't seen or felt during sanding, so more sanding and perhaps a little more fill will be needed on Wednesday night in the shop. Either way, it is possible that with a day off on Friday (meaning all day in the shop), that hardware and systems can be installed by the end of the day in order to go testing on Saturday before paint -- hopefully Sunday.

Stay tuned. We're working hard to get this thing finished in time for the first race, and we'll keep you updated through this blog.
