First Boat done!

Last weekend the first boat was finish and swapped out at OSU for another boat to work on. There are still a couple pieces of hardware to put on, including cam cleats, but we want to sail the boats first to figure out the best placement for them. More updates to follow.

Work Starts

With the first week out of school we were able to get most of the glass work done on the first two hulls...now for the decks and topsides, and painting!

Moving to Cleveland

Last night we loaded up the first load of boats and boat parts to go up to Cleveland to start the actual work on the boats!

Harken

Ohio State Sailing will have boats race equipped with Harken Ball Bearing Blocks. Harken has agreed to donate some replacement Carbo Blocks, 082's, and much needed shackles to attach hardware.

Thanks Harken!

Interlux Boat Paint

Interlux has agreed to also help in the painting of our boats, to protect them for years to come. We will be getting Bright side Top Side paint, in their version of Scarlet and Grey...Fire Red and Kingston Grey.

Thanks Interlux.

Samson Donation

Today we heard back from Samson Ropes. They have said that we have a "box of goodies" on our way. Which is thought to contain various line scraps to be used as control lines on the boats. But we will see when it comes!

Update: Today we received the box, and to Samson a "box of goodies" meant three boxes, including a partial spool, and many other assorted lines.

Thanks Samson!

Marson

Today we also received word from Marson, part of Alcoa. They agreed to donate various sizes of rivets, along with a rivet gun.

Thanks Marson/Alcoa!
