Maybe when I retire I will have enough time to knock one of these out in a month or two.

In the meantime, enjoy this pic. Remaining work: wrap the sway bars, install the steering rods, some kind of seat. Probably also touch up some of the joints.

(Black tape is to cure the glue/fiber)

Wheels on, all major joints solid, with at least one layer of twiisted fiber.

Well, 13 months in and I raised the sail on the leafhopper for the first time. Moved nicely in a light air. As would be expected I guess from such a light craft, with 5.5 sq meters of sail!

Picture taken while installing a test set of steering rods.



Traveler is a little loose, so the main sheet got a little tangled while parked. Not really a problem when rolling.
