Loft Report

Things have almost ground to a halt this week at MSP, due to a severe shortage of personel. Tomek has returned to Poland, Sam is back in the halls of academe, Rob is honeymooning in Hawaii, and Ken is at his dying grandmother's bedside. However, the Rob and Ken should be back in the traces before the week is out, and Sam's big brother Charlie is putting in some hours between classes.

Meanwhile, we are completing a Leisurefurl mainsail and furling genoa for a new 52 footer by Lyman Morse, and starting work on a new Cuben Fiber mainsail for Ocean Planet for the Vendee Globe. The latter is a project we undertook with many misgivings (that I won't go into here). Hopefully, we will learn much and also help Bruce Schwab on his quest...
