I know it's alittle late for this journal but I have to keep the "pace". I didn't plan to build that much this year, but things change late in the season. I got some attention in the local media an all of a sudden I have gotten (not alot) but some requests for next season. So I better prepare! :-)
My latest build is a all carbon touring ski that should be light, but I have my doubts...pics and stuff coming up.
The idea was to build a lightweight touring ski with CF. I found some triax, 450g/m2. Consumes much more epoxi than the FG, and I used my regular poplar/ash core, 2 -10 - 2, so not much of a win there. I have to rethink that approach.
They came out nicely. A little too much camber, stiffer and heavier than expected. But anyway... 1560g...maybe not soo bad after all...
