Core Sound 20 Mark III - Final Post before Cedar Key

First, let me send you to Alan (aka SOS) Stewart's blog to see the construction of the Centerboard.  With the time press and the importance of a good foil for good sailing, I commissioned Alan to construct the board.  In the future, I understand centerboards will be part of the kit.

There is still a lot to do.  Mostly sanding (LOTS of sanding), painting, and hardware installation.  But, I have to leave for Florida and Cedar Key, so she'll have to do until I return.

The inside will stay bright (encapsulated in epoxy) until after Cedar Key.  Time is running out.
