Our new project:
Hey N
I am digging that!
Are the winglets larger than the regular
star fin or is that just photo angle?
Want to say thanks again for the Spitfire
To Probox Larry

What a beautiful piece of glass work

Thanks my friend for the kind words, this angle will give you a better idea of the wings. Mahalo, Larry
That fin came together nicely. I like the checker board pattern on the bamboo wings.

Larry
looks like your on the verge of a
hydrofoil
Ready for lift-off!! LOL
How did you bind the two materials?
Seems like a lot of lateral force at the
join
did it reduce the weight of the fin?
If it’s any faster than the spitfire
your next project will be brakes!!

Sweet!
Must have been tricky to combine the wings on the base and still keep the strength without snapping, eh?
P.S. I also like the vase on the table.

The Spitfire came from this fin. This fin is from 1983. It’s a sort of anniversary model for Cheyne. They work really well in fiberglass, but the bamboo is new. Helps with weight. Thanks to Greenlight for his contribution on the wings also. This was a multi person project from an idea generated to the craftsmen who generated the product. No expectations huge amounts of sales. Those who know will want want and some curious. This was an old fashioned project to just see about getting it done. Can’t wait to hear Cheyne’s feedback after he rides it.
