Fitting the centerboard spars


Originally, I created my centerboard blanks with the high density cores  (mahogany spars)  all in one. but I decided to laminate, shape then wrap the spar cores individually with glass, then insert them into my centerboard blanks before the final shaping.   Fortunately, I was able to utilize a good portion of my excess foam "cut offs" to create the centerboard blanks by cutting the smaller  foam  pieces into strips and vac bagging them all together.  Notice the board blank on the left is being fitted with the spar.
