Rebel's deck

Luigi made a superb work finishing the floor deck in this way:the floor is covered in synthetic teak, a sort of plastic wood ... you can find more info here (unfortunately the English version seems broken): http://www.alternativeteqk.com/galleria.htm

We wish you all a happy Christmas, if this is the case with your religion, and a happy new year, if your calendar is so engineered, and all the best in any case !

inside Rebel

No posts in a year and then 2 in a row ! Here is how Luigi is arranging his F22 to stay inside:

As soon as the rain stops, we'll see a special kind of finish in the cockpit that still needs a little sanding ... CIAO !

More news from Luigi

Just received these fine pictures from Luigi ! He's almost there :-)

What a workmanship ... way to go, Luigi ! And now the scoop: a thin and long package is coming from Sparcfraft to Luigi doorstep in a couple of months ... guess what's inside ???

ciao !

P.S. my F22 project has been put on hold ... seeking a better logistic and financial situation in the future.

Luigi has painted !

If you stand up in the middle of the cockpit you see this:

Main hull is finished:

Guess what ? A fine gray bow tip !

Here is a scoop: and the rudder is ... an aluminium profile ! Maybe you have seen these profiles before, in racing multihulls. Construction time was very low, Luigi said, just two cuts, eh eh eh.

Remember, this is not my F22, which is still on hold. That's all folks, bye !

Luigi is painting

This year will see more F22 splashes, so it seems time to discuss color schemes. Luigi (in Reggio Emilia, ITALY) and his friend (a pro) recently painted the floats; here is the painting room, for a better dust and temperature control:

The float bow is grey; this cuddy cabin F22 will primarily day sail and race:



Now, how would you paint the main hull ? White only ?
Same grey bow as the floats ?Or ... a "Ferrari racing" red bow ?
Please let us know your ideas in the comments below; this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance ! We wish you a great 2009.
