Parts is Parts

It's been a while so I suppose it's time for an update. Not much progress on Mothball over the last month, but we now have lots of parts, so thats cool. The lack of progress has been due to good things though, like vacations, sailing, racing boats, selling sailboats, family stuff, and other random summer stuff. The Mothball has not been the top priority. But now we have cool new stuff. My C-Tech carbon mast and boom arrived last week and I recently got a used Ka X8 sail for a good price. I now have all of the tubes and materials needed to build the boat. I'm still looking for options for foils, but I'm not to the point that I need them yet. I still need to pick up parts for the foil control system. With some luck the Mothball will be transfered to a new home next weekend and then the detailed construction can begin. Don't know if I'll hit the water with it this year, but I'm really not in a huge hurry. Then again, the Moth Worlds are set for next year at the Gorge. I can be there in just 10 hours from my house. It would be cool to make that happen, but I'm going to need to be ready to go next spring and be practiced enough to make a reasonable showing. I better get on that.
