I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite. Watch my progress (or lack
there of) at: http://www.rutuonline.com

The competition will likely respond with a parsnip fibre boat, then
goatsbeard and burdock fibre boats, before moving into exotic tropical
fibres.

Hey Glen how is the Boat coming? I am starting my first boat and
making mold stations this weekend. It's the Hawaiian outrigger I told
you about. Lots of planning but I am sure there are still changes to
be made. I'm going 24' long trimaran configuration with treated
bamboo for spars and crossbeams. All woodstrip composite hull. I
really hope it floats.

I am looking forward to hemp fiber boats. They will ride high on the
water but may be difficult to navigate.

The trip will go by a a very mellow, leisurly pace. Sailing may cause
excessive munchies.
