Jim,

Good luck with you mold. Instead of prerelease we had our deck mold go bad. Had to rip the mold off the deck and it bonded with just about everything we used to fair the deck. Still not sure what we did wrong. But we got the mold cleaned up and are still working on the deck.

Oh man!

I've been following your progress as well. (Seeing we're kinda' in the same boat) It looks like once you have your machine tooled up, it'll be a lot of fun to sail.

When we finally got a rudder mold to hold and not prerelease, it tore the plug all up getting the mold off. I guess mold making is like sailing, either not enough grip or too much.
