Bimble bonaza



The fit out is going well, although it's a slow job. I have had to go carefully to avoid mistakes. The control lines are all routed to front and back faces of the thwart, which takes a bit of figuring out. The jib tracks are in and Bob at CC is going to make some nice carbon mounts for the cleats!

The Spinlock fitting for adjusting the shrouds should work well I think.

Shiny...


"Old Socks" is nice and snug in Potters Bar (visitors welcome) and the fit-out is going pretty well, thanks to my friends at Harken.

The boat looks just great as you can see and I will post some pics of the fit out soon. Careful observers will notice that there is a housing for the "piston" to adjust the rudder angle. Mast and sails are on order and foils are being built next week.
