Pete Dunn-Ranken Project
The Hawaiian Cates Moth

The building jig with station molds, stringers, sides & transom attached.

The hull turned right side up. Note the plastic electronic
ties used to "stitch" the hull panels together while the epoxy "glue"
kicks off.

The hull with the deck installed. Note that one of the
station molds forms a water tight forward bulkhead. The next two aft
molds have been cut down and will become braces for the center board
trunk.

The finished hull after sheathing with fiberglass.

A close up of the converted windsurfer mast; 3/4 inch PVC
pipe (opened on one side by running the pipe over a table saw) has been
attached to the mast with thickened epoxy to act as inexpensive luft
groove track for the bolt roped sail. Joe Bousquet is using a similar spar and is trying a section of windsurfer mast with a plastic groove glued on for a boom.

Ready to Race!

Ain't this what it's all about!
