The plot below shows a side-on view of the longboard design and is based on the rocker and rise as discussed in previous posts. Recall that this represents the total thickness and does not currently include any rounding and/or contouring of the top of the board.
As shown the design is not quite right with a small reduction in the thickness of the board apparent at about three quarters along from the stern. In this regard, what I have realised is that the top of the board should be flat along the centreline for a distance which covers the length of the mast track and the front of the centreboard (duh!). I'll build this into the design and will have another go at building up a 3-D model of the design over the next few days.

On another topic, the garage clearing has gone well and I'll shortly begin building the board construction table. I also have some news regarding a rig for the board and will likely discuss this in the next post.
Bye for now.
Bye for now.
