AUS31's new sails




AUS 31 'Flatpack' has received her new Irwin sails, I just quickly put them up today and they look good. I will have them out on the water all day next Saturday (it is annoying to not have a drivers license until July).
Main differences to the sails I had on AUS26 are more luff round in the main (a fair bit more given how hard the things were to pull up) and the jib cut (not as high aspect as my usual jibs but the geometry of the flatpack didn't lend itself to that).

(you can also see the yard has been neglected in place of boat work)

AUS32 has her filler coat on the hull and the seat is carboned on the bull noses and Apex. Rails will be made today and fairing of the hull will start.
