FastBrick and Other Updates
I'm declaring my FastBrick "Stargazer" finished and I've finally
updated my website with the latest construction photos. She still
needs her sail made and I've got to overcome some issues with the
rudder mounting that prevent it from folding flat according to the
plans. The problem is not a mistake I made, but rather with the
specified pintles and (especially) gudgeons.
In any case, the latest images start here:

Many thanks to whomever it was that suggested DuraBak, by the way.
And if anyone is interested, the launch day photos of my
Diablo "Halcyon" (I know, that's a bit lame) are posted here:

Finally, a nice shot from last August of my Michalak Robote "Hypoxia"
on Pike's Peak appears at the bottom of this page:
http://www.kolbsadventures.com/robote_8.htm
That last one is especially useful for morale today, as one of my
several bosses is pico-managing again, and we're expecting another
blizzard this afternoon. On the bright side, I've located some of
the photos of my old Common Sense Skiff and will post those as soon
as I make time to scan them. I'm also on trail of my Light Schooner
shots and hope to post them soon as well.
