Still playing the waiting game...

Well chained dogs continue to feel uneasy as the wind blasts through the Sth coast. There is a deep low out in the Atlantic just pumping strong weather our way. The next likely forecast looks to be around Sunday when every thing chills out a bit. In the meantime we continue to work on the details on SAILROCKET. HARKEN UK are sending us some new blocks to rig up the new wing uphaul system and I have re-rigged the shroud in/out haul system so it is more adjustable. It is good to rake the rig forward whilst lowering it as this keeps the trailing edge out of the water.

I have made a bracket for the TACKTICK instruments so that they are easily read from the cockpit and made a flow spoiler for the wing which will hopefully make it easier to handle on the shore. Basically the idea is to partially stall the flow over the leading edge so that the wing doesn't fly around so much. Any improvement is good.

Helena continues to tidy up various splices onboard and service other aspects of the project such as the RIB and the container.

Cheers, Paul.
