included photo of todays situation. The half must be laminated in three steps. meanwhile the twins (floats) still need sanding and painting. The colour RAL 2002 (burnt orange) see samples below which are different, there are the 10% and 5% samples and painted one and two layers. The 10% covering properties must be better, but the 5% is more pleasant to work.
Have just heard from my estonian Mini-Transat friend Jaanus Tamme, that he's about to begin his 1000 mile solo trip on Lendur (mad express- a fino designed Pogo2) sailing from france to estonia. (http://www.travellunch.ee/?setlang=eng) to qualify for the next mini - this will be great experience also as preparation for our joint trip to sail the F-22 from Tallinn to Groningen once she is finished !
That will be an amazing trip for both of us - and an early trial of what Ian Farrier's F-22 might really be capable of (ie mini-transat potential - fast, safe, reliable and potentially ocean going).
