Two layers was not strong enough, I think I used too fine a cloth. We have a fiberglass factory that makes waterslides, car bodies and all sorts of cool stuff. They sold me a heavy woven cloth and recommended I use a layer of it and a layer of mat. I made a frame so I can turn the pod as I layer the glass. Hope to have the glass on by Friday.
More time in the shop. I finished the body fiberglass and took the foam out. I put a strip of foam weather strip around the opening and used some resin with glass beads to fill in the spaces and round out the inside junction between the floor and the fiberglass. Once it has set up I will sand it and lay a strip of cloth and resin over it. I think it is going to work really well.
that looks awesome sab, fatter pod so theres lots of room for feet.
i love it!!!!!
Hey Sab', I was going to mention that a couple of posts back but thought better of it. Any way how's the "Little Shop of Horrors" doing?

Pod is being clear coated. The guys at FirstChoice Collision in Red Deer felt sorry for me when I was in getting some paint. They kindly offered to paint the pod and clear coat it. They then returned it to me to do some minor airbrush work, and are now putting on the final two coats of clear coat. Great guys, they would not take payment, they just want to go for a sail!
Should have some photos in the next few days.
Hi Brian, It all sounds too good to be true?? It seems that there are still a few generous people on this rock. Hey! I hope you are going to get them to put a label or Logo on it
.
I reckon you may be encouraging some new builders.
Ron
Pod is back from the paint shop today. I am very pleased. Unfortunately, work is getting in the way as I just completed a major office renovation. 9 days..on time on budget. Gotta love good general contractors. Now I have to spend the day putting all my crap back in the office. This really affects my shop time.
AHhh! Stop Bitchin'! A[}:)].
You have to admit,Brian, that while you're working you're earning.. While you're Playing you're spending[}:)]. So, with that understanding you'll be able to spend a bit more . No?
Get some pic's up.
I went back up to Anthony Beach today. Winds Gusting to a tad above 50kph and averaging 33Kph. The direction wasn't optimal but none the less I had a bunch of fun chasing down a 4x4 and dog running after Seagulls. Oh Yeah! I did a bit of Showing Off with broadsides.
I didn't get any footage and found my Data Logger about 40meters from the Ute
.

Just finished assembling the new mini. Looks pretty good. I spent a little more time on the finish than I expected, but it turned out the way I envisioned.
Didn't get done until it was dark so photos tomorrow.
I wanted to get one of Landyacht's stickers but did not qualify. I guess this would be the next best thing.
THIS ONE IS FOR LANDYACHT!
ARE YOU FKN KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!?!?!
It's brilliant!!!
Make sure You don't EVER get it near a puddle of mud or poo; You'll never get it out.... If the ear holes go through, you have A/C for your feet on hot days too.
Seriously, that is one great finish job on an LLM. Register it on the LLM register when You can. Do tell, are the facial features done with bondo?
Love it......
Brian that is utter, complete and total....genius!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers Col (still laughing)
thats what i like about landyachying.......
there is allways another dimension
"That IS a Top Job" 
........congratulations
I am seriously worried about you sabydent.
So how are you going to get the wing colours and graphic into the sail???
How are you going to explain THAT when your local paper does a story on you / your yacht?
Just brilliant,
It needs a curly tail.....
Great job Saby!! You have set new standards in creativity for yacht design. Love it!
Paul is going to fall off his chair when he sees this beauty!
I can see the headline on your local newspaper:
"PROOF THAT PIGS CAN FLY"
There is a pretty good chance that your new mates at the panel shop will soon be cobbling up LCM's (Lefroy-Canuck Minis) after they have a sail on yours- and after
its in the newspapers you might just have a telephone meltdown!
Stephen
Bravissimo!!!
I hope FISLY will adopt this two new features, Minis must be pink and pig alike
Ain't knockin' yu Bud. I just wish I had the Gear and skill to Fulfill some of the quality you Northerners do. "Miss Piggy" should have a Wig and Springy Tail.
Yup! I am aware that you are emulating Paul's Sticker but in having succeeding to such a standard you have eliminated the need for the real thing?????Wouldn't you say?.
Ron
