Waiting isn't all bad

The good thing about being forced to slow down on a build is that it gives you more time to test things before they get put to use. When I assembled the boat I jumped all over on the tramps and the small carbon connector rods I was using started to explode. They were clearly not up to the task. Not hard to fix, but I was glad to have broken them on the hard rather than the first time on the water. I also decided to change my wand geometry slightly to reduce friction and eliminated some play in my rudder adjuster. All of these things should make the first voyage go much better.
