Handplane Three

Had an unexpected day off today but there was no surf. I have all but finished hand plane three. All I need to do is add the strap.

I have kept it flat across the bottom with no concave or v and the only rocker is in the nose entry. I'm hoping that will give it extra speed and the stinger design with a fairly straight outline will put a bit extra rail in the water for control. More than likely is the fin will act as a brake.

It's 100% recycled material but I have some concern about the strength due to the age of the glue and lack of proper clamps.

Now all I need is to wait for a clean day and for the sand around Barnacles to move onto summer configuration.
