Chris, are you going 100% Fuel Cell, or will you have a solar panel or two?
Andy
Andy,
Will have solar too, I added them to the list. Will be two panels on the cabintop plus a floating one.
What about your spars? Who made the masts and rigging, bowsprit, etc?
Cordage? Thanks for keeping a gerat and facinating blog.

Spars are AG+ and running rigging is a combination of Liros and Samson.
Since the boat is a planned Series the rig is aluminum, per the Classe Mini Rules
