You've successfully hurtled the hardest part of this project. Well done, sir.

David where should the cylinder be placed? Mine is 2.5”, 23” long including a 7” ballast tank.

Longitudinally, place the center of the ballast tank at the center (half-way point) of the hull.

[biggsgolf]

Thank you Sir!, and appreciate the aditional operations

Yeah. And note the need to make the attachment of the bow and stern plane 'guards' much more robust than what the kit calls for. Those will snap off if you don't reenforce the bond between guards and hull.

David

Was wondering about that. Good call.

[biggsgolf]

Dave,
did you add any grates on the bottom of your XXIII? I didn’t notice in Georgia.

David why did you cut an opening below the sail?

[trout]

I can speak for me, to get air out quickly.

[Das Boot]

David why did you cut an opening below the sail?

Could be for the camera system he put in it.

[biggsgolf]

Creating Periscope which will house my antenna and be attached to hollow Aluminum Tube

[biggsgolf]

Final print will be grey

David why did you cut an opening below the sail?

To vent the free-flooding hull and reduce displacement of the above waterline structures.

[biggsgolf]

Fittings etc. from Danny arrived today! Not sure how many I will use yet

Missed it by that much.

[biggsgolf]

Missed it by that much.

Once cleaned up will be quite good
