The fourth sprint of the year was plagued by illness, ramping up classes, and Hell Week for FWOP’s rendition of A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder. Nevertheless, progress was made, albeit at a reduced pace.
Mechanical
With their focus directed entirely on Hawsepiper, Mechanical split into smaller subteams focused on hull prototyping, wingsail design, and miscellaneous Hawsepiper CAD tasks. Mechanical is ready to start shopbotting the hull with foam ready to go. A small sketch model of the wingsail already exists with somewhat scaled dimensions, but Mechanical is now finalizing the fabrication process for a full size wingsail prototype. The Hawsepiper CAD now has preliminary CAD for the daggerboard and outrigger interfacing.
