Pulling up the floor of Altair, it would be easy to mistake this scow for a potting bench.  On May 18, about half the floor had been removed and still no sign of dry balsa core.  What happened to this boat?  We may never know. But this will make a fine racing craft for the lucky person who eventually takes charge of this beauty.  We met Altair on our scow picking run to Wisconsin in December 2012.  First stop was Chautauqua New York where Eric modified the boat for the asymmetrical spinnaker.  In March the boat arrived in Washington for more work to make the hull competitive.  Rather than chronical the process of resurrecting Altair in this paragraph, please follow the story through  the captions.
