Launching: New Strip Ski

Hi All,
Just completed and launched another strip ski. This one is 20'2" long, 17.71" beam and around 31lbs. The wood is mostly WRC with some White Cedar, Yellow Cedar and a touch of walnut. The bucket is a cool CF that I found which has a copper thread in it. Looks cool in the sun. The design was inspired by an Epic V10L but modified a bit. I gave some rough patterns to Cad Whiz Warren Williamson and he developed the finished sections in Rhino. His work is quite impressive! Below is a link to some photos.
