I have been working on Kingsfold for several years now. http://kingsfoldsailboat.blogspot.com/ Since I learned about the Race to Alaska, I made some changes in my plans in order to make the boat safer when I enter next year's race. Those changes include replacing my according-to-the-plans keel and rudder with the fin keel and rudder that PAR designed.
Here is a photo of the rudder in process.
I am also going to make the cockpit self-draining. Yes, I know it's a small boat with a small cockpit, and I am a bit crazy. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
