UdB 071109

we took webby 2x5 out for a spin this saturday in the hereford colonnade.. a few different configurations, but finally tuning in a centered / over-exit pose that was a pleasant surprise to those rounding the corner from newbury st. 3 more doors to outfit at the BAC site!

webby cutting complete!

as of Saturday, we completed all of our rough cuts for the 4 canopies. one is completely sewn with tails, while we hope to complete sewing and tails for the other 3 in the next couple of weeks. next stop--deployment!

wedding at the peace park!

bobby & nataka's wedding

congratulations to nataka and bobby who were married in the peace park this past weekend! after their years of hard work converting an abandoned dumping ground into the beautiful meeting place we all love, i could think of no better way to honor it's special gravity.

I think these layouts are more accurate to what we're working towards.

a team canopy sizes

so...i checked mike's diagrams against what i had in my sketchbook from tuesday(sorry i didn't sketch out the one we already did), and it seems like maybe the interior dimensions of are off? i think we had discussed interior spacing of 11" (rather than the 15" we used on the first one) and exterior spacing of 15.5" (rather than 27"?) does that make sense?

also...cut sheets for small and fat:

I'm a bit confused on the sizing of the canopies. I think these are our proposed shapes but these are contradictory to what we were discussing Tuesday evening. Let's discuss via email.
