Turnover Time

[quidproquo]

After over 12 months of intermittent part-time building, turnover day arrived . It's been a great learning experience for a non-handyman. From now on she gets a lot more of my time.

Some photos for you:

Very nice boat, but the shop's too clean.;)

Looks really good. Now the fun part starts. Which rig are you going to use?

Ugly boat, you MUST give her to me!

;0 )

What design & materials -- tell us more, please. Is that a PB 14?

[Dave R]

So do you have a place in the livingroom all ready for that nice piece of furniture? :D

Very nice looking. Thanks.

Beautiful! What is it?

Really looks nice. Is this your first boat? I don't think I quite believe the "non-handyman". Not with that nice of a boat. Now dirty up that garage so it looks proper!

Sorry, I should have included some more detail.

Yes, she is a Penobscot 14. Except for some Radiata pine in the bulkhead frames , the timber is all Hoop Pine (Araucaria cunninghamii) or marine ply made from Hoop Pine. The natural colour is quite pale but she has 3 coats of CPES on the outside of the hull.

Al, I decided on the Gunter rig, and recently took delivery of the sails (tan). A bit early, but the tan material was on special at 40% off so just had to go ahead.

Paul, it's true. When I started out I the only tools I had were a power drill and a hammer. The hammer has not been used!

It won't take too long for the garage to get back in a mess
