Cedar-strip centreboard and rudder blade

An attractive centreboard and rudder blade have been made from strips of cedar that I have laminated into a board then cut to make the two underwater foils. These need some further sanding before a coat of glass cloth and epoxy is applied to add strength and protection. A final coat of varnish will be required for UV protection. Both the foils have been oversized after comments from another Pup builder who suggested the standard size is a little small leading to excess leeway.

    hello
    I am thinking of building a PBO pup
    What is the best way to start? Buy the plans from PBO and cut my own timber?
    Do you have your own pictures from stage 1?
    looks good so far!!

    Hi Stuart, yes it is best to buy the plans, materials and get stuck in. It's a simple design/dinghy if it's your first time (like me). Pics from the start are available by looking at my first posts.
