daggerboard in desperate need of some work

and thats kinda where were at right now. waiting for wednesday^^

data recovery still being postponed due to all the awesome little projects that come in between.  also no pix again because i forgot to bring my cam back from the boat yesterday, where the sandings more or less done, so was doing some tests with the rotary tool on the hull and was looking into the shape and state of the daggerboard(if thats the right pronouncation harhar) wich is pretty banged up and part rotten. plan now is to strengthen it with stainless steel. gotta love being in a me...

quick update, have alot of cleaning work done, its almost time to start repairs and get me some sails.
i spent 10 hours with an exentric grinder(air) in my hands to get the crap off the hull. but the result is self explanatory:

pictures will have to wait a couple days as i just uploaded everything to my external hdd and it crashed for some odd reason.

Will be posting about the details and progress soon!

Thanks dad for letting me borrow the car to ...
