Formula Boats (U-5) Project Update

Well...with two nights left before the first race of the season, there's very good news from our boat shop. All of the decals, minus the one on the canard, which was painted tonight, are on the boat. Just a few finishing touches to do tomorrow afternoon (I took the afternoon off work), and it'll be time to put the whole thing back together again!

We'll probably wait to do the clearcoat until after the first race, so there's adequate drying time without pushing things too much.

We still have to mount the sleeve cowl and the turbine tube -- both of which have been made. And the canopy will be delivered at the race site on Saturday. We'll make due with a temporary one for the race day (thank you to the board members who allowed a variance for this race)

As you can see, we also still need to mount a canard across the front. That, and the turbine tube & sleeve cowl will likely be the biggest and most time-consuming tasks on Friday. And re-installing all of the hardware.

I can't believe we got it done in just two weeks. But we'll be there at the first race, giving our best effort yet again! Thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement!
