Excellent. Thank you very much. How does she sail?

In going thru the pictures (nice site! nice boat!) I was struck by an idea
that had nagged at me in one of the earlier threads.
The discussion was on pouring lead in multiple melts and having a failure of
the layers to bond. Isn't there some flux one could throw in after the
first melt to encourage the two to bond? Rosin, acid, peanut oil?

I was just out surfing the web out of boredom and saw some photos of
a bolger seabird, looks like a multichine long micro with the bow of
a storm petrel. How big is that thing?
Thanks,
