A few photos of the first sail and some text from the builder/sailor.
I would have never thought of doing an all-white boat - but it does look rather good.
There have been some nice comments about the set of the sail from the international PDRacer folk. For those who don't know the plan for the sail comes with the plan for the boat.

The sail is a simplified form to reduce skill and labour, but still sets rather nicely - specially when set up by a proper sailor like Steve.
If you look really carefully you can see I have photoshopped the pic to make it square - it was a portrait format. But midge only likes square images on the blog!!!! Some of the trees are repeated and there were a couple of little flaws.
The things I do for you Midge!
Best wishes
