09-Ago-2006: Extra reinforcement for the support of the mast foot

09-Ago-2006: Another view. Then I must to do fillets in every corner before fiberglassing.
09-Ago-2006: View thru inspection cover in section nº 0. Opening the cover of the anchor box and retiring this inspection cover will have a good ventilation. .

11-Ago-2006: Aspect after 4 layers of bidirectional roving 800 gr/m2

11-Ago-2006: Added section nº 2 and another inside general view. Detail of 1 Kg aerosil bag.
