Fulmar turned over

[DurkJan]

Hi all!

First time I will post a item over here, although I've read very much items last months, especially when it deals with Oughtreds Fulmar. Currently I'm building one over here in Holland. Last week I turned her over,and now she is really a boat! I hope you can see the picture(s) I will try to post... As you can see, the topstrake still needs some fairing when I will have glued the rubbing strips.

It would appear as though the forum is being invaded by lowlanders. :D

Both of you guys should be very proud. Those are gorgeous boats.

I saw a Fulmar at the boatramp here in Portland last year - they are really very big boats. Nice job, she's a beauty!

Flipping a Fulmar - what fun! It has puzzled me why such a speedy, yet easy to sail design is relatively rare. Will you build her with decks and the folding gunter rig? Congratulations on reaching this milestone.

[DurkJan]

dank jullie wel.
Thank you all!

bheys: Yes, I'm building her with decks and the guntr rig (what means "folding"?)
mac: How's your "Hope" going? Made any progress?

Durk-Jan,

I had a small accident which took me off building for two about months. As you know I am building outside and as you also know the weather has just been awfull the first 6 months ( way to could for glueing ).

So in order to get into the rythem again I decided to start on making the tiller. Small job, can be done inside in the workshop and with using one hand.

The idea for the fags is as follows:
I am Dutch
I am building in Denmark
My wife ( biggest sponsor ) is Norwegian

The tiller isn't done yet; now some layers of epoxy and then quit a lot of layers of varnish.

Last week I layed out the offsets for the first frame of this year. So there is progress :D
I have 6 frames left to make; if things go as planned I can make them this summer ( or when summer starts) so that means that hopefully I can start putting frames an bulkheads on the strongback in the winter and start planking next spring.

But you will be in the water by that time :cool:
