Shaping & planing wooden cores

My runner planks’ core material is samba wood also known as abachi. When you google for most common applications you will not find iceboat’s runner plank. Strange.

It is very light wood and easy in processing however it covers everything in dust even if you have dust collection system. 

The lightest wooden core ever was 2,54kg, the heavies 4,55kg. In average core weight oscilates between 3,4-3,6kg in most of the cases.

Moth sailing

I am happy moth owner since March this year. For a sailor dealing with traditional sailing for couple of decades moth sailing is whole different sailing experience. Very , very demanding class. I have only few more days sailing scheduled for October. 

The good thing is downwind is alike iceboat.

Icesailing is coming in fast!
