Mainsheet Beam Progress

Both of the mainsheet beam laminations are done.


Here are the beams after coming off the mold.




Here they are after sanding and planing them flat to a 40mm thickness.

Next step is modifying the upper (concave) curve and shaping them.


Task time: 3 hours
Total project time: 288 hours
