That's a neat looking kit, from what I can tell. I'd like to see some good pics of it.

Here is Ed Mitton’s blog with info on the Vincia, and the designer, Len Fehskens. I seem to remember BMS offering the laser cut fins, which I believe were laminated with smaller skins over the core, to provide a fin that had nice tapers on them, with a bit of sanding. (Just up your alley, tbzep, since you love sanding ... )

I’m sorry I never ordered. Might be worth contacting Bill Swaindon to see if he still has the files and might offer to make the fin set.

The inevitable finally happened.

My 12 year old Windows XP computer's hard drive died.

I have a back up computer so there is hope.

I just have to close for a few days while I try to get my back up unit up and running.

It crashed while my site was opened so it's still working.

I will try to keep up but it may be a bit messed up for a while.
