I just can’t stay away from the Cboxes.
This is my new one , frames coated with first layer of penetrating epoxy, tomorrow coat #2 and then onto the building jig

Built about a dozen of them traced the wood made some from door skins also I framed the opening with 1/4 inch plywood so you can grab it with out worrying about ripping the deck off.

Those look really nice. That was a good idea door skins. Those look light weight yet strong.

Here’s the frame I added

My first one was a full size cracker, 15’ long built from GlenL plans. About 6 yrs ago ,I built a Zipp cracker and ran it for a few years. about 2 yrs ago , I designed and built another one. That one now holds the Namba SAW and 2 lap records. this one is a Jerry Dunlap design. I modified it slightly.
