Greg,
Thanks for the tips. I can't believe I missed your project page. It's great.
That battened lug sail looks good. What were the battens made of? Were they in
pockets?
What about that "throw away" batwing on the pirogue? It looks interesting too.
On another subject... I build musical instruments and my business recently
purchased a ShopBot CNC router machine. We haven't set it up yet, but will soon.
I of course would love to cut out some boat parts. The DXF files Hulls outputs
turns out a great 3D wire frame hull in TurboCad, but is there a way to output
the DXF of the 2D developed panels? I see it puts out lofting plots, but can't
figure out the other.
I posted 3 small images of the Featherwind on the sites "vault."
Thanks again.
