First Aka


The first aka is out of the mold and about ready for carbon.  I have reset the jig blocks and am starting to glue up the second one.







Task time: 5 hours
Total project time: 173 hours

  1. Did you make the entire aka with a solid core? Or just the ends?

    Did you post up any general design posts?

    Thanks

  2. Wayne,

    The windward and leeward ends are solid where they will join the hulls. The rest of the beam is a hollow box that is basically a core to support 6 or so layers per side of carbon fiber using pultrusion or 17 layers using regular uni.

    There are renderings of the boat at BiekerBoats.com.
