The first hull of the Portland i550 fleet is complete!  ...mostly.  The minor details of a keel foil and rudder still need to be attended to, but we are building molds for those.  Still, the hull itself is basically ready to go.  In the next few weeks it will be making its way up to the Seattle area to spend some quality time with a rigger, but for now it sits in my garage while work on hull number two gets going.

It's starting to get cold and rainy here in Portland, but I hope to be able to put up a few pics from out on the water in the near future.  In the meantime, you'll have to make do with the final build pics.  Enjoy!

Finishing up some final details...

 This companionway cover is simplicity itself...

 

A few close-ups of the new shiny bits.  These were made by a local outfit.  They're not "marine", which means they cost about half as much as they would have otherwise!

 

 

 

And here are a few shots that look like the boat might be heading down to the boat ramp...
