I think I finally figured out how to do this again.

Lovely launch! Electric powered too!

What design is it?

I noticed how you cheated on making an awning by unstalling an umbrella (I had thought of doing the same thing!).

Congrats - looks like some fun-on-the-lake for you.

Oh, VERY nice. That's Phil Bolger & Susanne Altenburger's "Lily" design, right? The umbrella's very cool.

Cool House ;)

[Don Maurer]

Very nice. I love that horizontal sail. It doesn't matter which way the wind blows, just set it and forget it :cool:

[brad9798]

Neat boat ... and neat house too!!

Good job!

[ChuckG]

Way too cool!

What's the green cover made of? and what kind of method did you use to make it?

Now to get her out on the water!

Thanks everybody. Yes, it's Bolger's LILY Electric Launch. She is basically stitch & glue plywood. The hull is sheathed with dynel & epoxy. Paint is Kirby's. The cover is made out of Top Gun; a very tough waterproof fabric. I had a local guy make that & the cushions. The umbrella is from Lowe's!
Thanks for the comment on the house. We were obviously inspired by Colonial Williamsburg. The gambrel section in back is a replacement after we had a BIG fire in June of '99 It was right after that that I discovered this forum & it gave me great consolation and diversion during a difficult time.
Now that I have this photo thing down I am going to post pics of the rest of my fleet. Rick

I shut my eyes and have visions of Meander ghosting along a placid lake. Sun ablazing. Comfortable in the shade, beverage in hand...............

Damn, I feel better already.
