Yeah, I was just looking at them. I agree with you, a new evolution to an older class.

I haven't been getting forum notifications, so I am just catching up on your rebuild. That is some beautiful work. I'm really digging the cabin rebuild. Your interior redesign is very different and I...

I'm not a racer but I'll check those out. This 5.80 just kind of seems like a starting point for some people with limited funds and experience. I'm limited in both ways.

Building as laid out and the specs even tell you exactly what weight cloth and how many layers along with where and how to lay them on/in. It really is like building a life size model. There's very...

Most people do the long distance races solo. Only day races are there more than one crew.

It's not junk rigged, it's either masthead or fractional.

I've also heard there's a few that have a conflict with Don McIntyre. I've never heard of him before seeing the Class Globe 5.80 stuff.

Class Globe 5.80 is kind of a new-ish thing I've recently learned about and haven't seen mentioned here. A search turned up nothing. There's also another guy trying to get a 6.50 (Wave Rover 6.50)...

A member on cruiser's forum has a lead keel from a hunter he is trying to rid himself of. It may be worth a look for anyone needing lead.

I understand your feelings on this. You're doing and excellent job. Your lay out is very unique and interesting. I do like the mixed wood look you've gone with. To me, it makes for interesting...

I agree. I feel we're being trolled.

That is sad sight. I believe it's time for that boat to go, I hate to say and see that.

As much as it pains me to think of it, you're probably right.

I thought the UK was pretty strict with sunken vessels. I've seen and heard many stories of boats being pulled and cut up soon after sinking because of the environmental consequences. Have I been...

That is a tight install and looks really neat and tidy. Most non-electrical people just see a jumble of electrical components.

Thanks for posting.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Thank you for this post. I may be rehabbing a fiberglassic sailboat soon and the head needs much attention. Having a way to discharge waste would be great without using a vacuum system. My other idea...

No, I hadn't seen that, thanks. A pretty neat set up for the pin and socket.

No and yes. A lot of the info in some of the links from that site was included in the PDF.

Thanks but no, it wasn't that one. I have seen that. It may have been posted a lot longer ago than I am remembering. It was a step by step build citing the resources used to build the yuloh.

Thanks. Yeah, I've read through those but I'm looking for the PDF file posted by a member here. I can't remember the member's user name. I was hoping he was still around and would catch this thread.

Thanks for trying to help out. Y>

In my post, I talked about those. I have them. A member here went through the process of designing and building a yuloh for his sailboat and showed the process he used to get the proper shape for the...

Several years back, someone posted very detailed plans and explanations PDF with pictures. I downloaded that PDF but my hard drive ate it or I can't find it anywhere in my files. I've searched the...

Why not Lisa B. Good? https://duckworks.com/lisa-b-good/

What happened to the build? I've had these plans for years. I'm thinking about building her and putting a small sail on her for messing about in small coves.

Maybe butyl for testing and then something more permanent like Sikaflex/3m products?

Are you asking about sealant/adhesive or a mounting board? Sealant/adhesives I always use Sikaflex products. Backers on skegs and mounts I use 2x stock outside and 1x backers. That's an actual...

You'll get it figured out. It just takes a little time to get the outs figured.

You're welcome, Peter.

I am also getting the pic unavailable message.

Good update for the most part. You seem to be in good spirits. I hope you guys win your case and get the marina straight again.

Y> Good seating and entertainment close by. Y>

If the seating were better, it would be a lounge. LOL

That's some pretty good fun mileage.

That counter top is really nice. The door latch looks like a good design and beats the price or marine grade hardware.

Have you used to boat enough to come up with fuel burn numbers and cruise...

Groupies, they're a pain. :D

Your finish work is pretty nice. That counter is going to be sweet. I want to congradulate you on 44 years. I barely made it 20 years with my third wife. Y:o

It's to bad a nicely shaped nice looking wood part has to be placed in the depths of the bilge. Good work. That should outlast most current board members.

Mine is hanging on my chair in my bedroom, waiting for the next outing.

You could slide the boom up, if she's a sailor, and toss a tarp over it for weather protection.

Props to the new guy. He actually used the search function and found a 7-year-old thread. At least it appears that way.

Sounds good.

Good work on flopping the boat. Cute kitty.

Will there be an option for following their rebuild?

We went from 70s and 80s back into the 50s and 60s. I think we skipped a few seasons.

Cat is epoxied to the hull. That can't be good for performance.

The boat ceiling is looking pretty nice. The garage is coming along. My 12x16 workshop framing fit in the back of my 2001 Ford Ranger with the tiniest step-side bed. That's including the 2x stock to...

I have been in and out of the trades since I was a kid. I can use a circ saw and a chisel to turn out a near-perfect notched joint. If you're worried about evenness and smoothness, make sure your saw...

This is how I do it. If you're gluing with epoxy, a little roughness and unevenness will help with gluing the joint.
