Uruguayan SWAGGIE - construction updates

[luis nin estevez]

Hi all,
I've uploaded new pics of the construction of my SWAGGIE in the web
page http://www.swaggie-uruguay.com.uy/construccion.html
You can see the pics in the Spanish version, not in the English one, as
a problem arose with the English page and expect to solve it shortly.
Regards,
Luis

Great website, Luis. My spanish is just good enough that I only had to look a few words up in the dictionary. :D Looking forward to seeing the sides go on the bulkheads. :cool:

Excellent website and story (the English version is working)

Hey, felicitaciones Luis. Qué gran barco. Mientras que Margo dice, la página inglesa trabaja muy bien. ¿Usted sabe que el "Swaggie" es un término Australiano, no un Zealnd Nuevo uno, no usted? Juan lo pellizcó de nosotros.

Más fotografías por favor.

(Y estoy demostrando apagado -- mi Español realmente no es ningún bueno en todos.)

Luis,

Fine work. Congratulations!

What type of marine plywood are you using? It looks quite nice. Is it made in South America?

Wayne
In the Swamp. :D

Hi all,
Wayne I don't know exactly the origin of the ply we are using; I'll let you know when obtained such information.
The construction of my Swaggie is going forward.
Hereby I attach some pics. I'll upload more pics in my site during next week.
....
Sorry I can't attach pics here and don't know if that is possible aside from addressing to a web site pic. Can I?
Regards,
Luis

Hi,
Some new pics are in the page; boat almost finished!
You can see two videos about my Swaggie "ATITI":
One includes sequences of pics form the very beginning up to now; and the other is a short video showing the big interior of Swaggie.
More pics in my site www.swaggie-uruguay.com.uy
Hope you enjoy them.

And if you like sailing fast, here you have a video of my Tiki 26 "Polynesia" and others sailing at 10 knots and a cat meeting held in Uruguay last week.

Very interesting. What is inside the hollow keel? Is it water ballast (or fresh drinking water)? Is there external ballast?

Thanks for sharing,

Brian

[JimD]

Beautiful work, Luis. I check in on your website regularly hoping to see new photographs. Thanks.

[luis nin estevez]

Tks,
Brian, ballast is lead; but not all along the keel, only part; last part is empty or with wood content. 400 kg.
Hre goes a pic... not very clear but something at least.

Luis, can't see your pages - I get a "Forbidden" on the page. Perhaps the server is down?

[luis nin estevez]

I'm checking that now, Dave. Tks and rds. Luis

[Kim Whitmyre]

Luis, the sailing videos are great! The meet on the Rio Platos looks like a most pleasant time. . .Did you ever decide upon a style of wind vane for your tiki?

[luis nin estevez]

Kim, I'm biilding a Belcher's widnnvane; some pics are available in my swaggie website; It'slike Rory's one in his Tki 21 Cooking Fat.
