There are the four bolts on the flywheel accessing the pull behind. Then there are link belts that can be connected after threading behind an obstruction.

You have don't very well by JULIA and she by you! Cheers! Thank you.

Nothing!

Hello Bernadette,
Thanks for the details. I think my brother had more damage to the bottom of the leg bones than the foot. It was called a replacement but that's all I know. He is much better off...

OK. Then, you might mill them to 5/8 square and proceed, that might mean you'd want to space them a little tighter together but probably not an issue. Square, they will be easier to land flush to...

You have a choice with those pieces. Try bending as cut to the planned dimensions, if it works you will be fine. Or, bend them with the grain as prescribed, assuming that means molded 5/8, sided...

Best wishes! for you and for all those people flooded out. I wonder about your ankle replacement. My brother had his ankle crushed when a car struck his motorcycle about 50 years ago and suffered...

Agree with Cleek.

Good so far. Good.

Looks like pine, which means the dog will probably dent the surface with his claws trying to keep from slipping around. My 2bits.

Congratulations.

In the other direction, Beach Generator in Revere, MA.

The Catspaw is Joel White's iteration of Nat Herreshoff's Columbia Lifeboat Model which the Herreshoff's built from 9' to 20' lapstrake.

Looks like a spritsail, cleat for snotter well up the mast.

That's a very well fit out boat.

Thanks for letting us see all this!

Yes.

Excellent! Thanks.

Thanks, Ned! History is important.

Classic!

Happy New Year, Jim! And all.

I also thought she had gone to someone else long ago. I feel your pain but am thankful she has brought us together. I hope you have fun holidays and a grand New Year! Cheers, Thad

I'd think the bulkheads are integral to maintaining her shape and you would want to retain them until the rest of the structure is more stable.

Surf dories are generally double ended Swampscott type (round sided) dories where even the tombstone transom sterned dories, like this one, are narrow enough at the waterline for working off a beach...

Hole with matching cork. Works.

Like a whole ocean?

I much prefer raw linseed oil.

Grand! Thank you.

Rossi Mill collection is a great resource, but I was talking about the Mystic Shipyard building that burned. Thanks for the picture though, always good to see those boats!

If you fly to Boston, you can take a shuttle or taxi to South Station and then train to Mystic. If you book lodging along Rt 1 (near the train station), you can walk to town center or the Show...

Thanks, Ian. Looking good. Have fun with your show.

I was in those buildings a few years ago when there were some great old boats inside. One, the Nicholas Potter SERENADE, at least, has since gone to the Med and been restored. Insurance wouldn't...

That is reasonable. It isn't finished, it has minor issues and it isn't a great replica with sheer and sheerstrake issues (cosmetic, not structural).

Looks to me like you should take the boat and go rowing and sailing. Does she have the rig? There is no rudder hardware, but that is easily solved. The break in the plank at the bow may have been...

Good for the locks to be aligned with the rowing position so your stroke is even and in line with the boat. 1/2" in the middle of the boat will not be noticed by many.

Grand to see you out there.

I'd expect it to be quite normal. With stock near or square in cross section, twist is not a big problem when steaming.

I don't think so, but alignment might be easier and a shorter piece is needed.

Or you could scarf in a replacement section. Easier to find a 5' piece than 18' or more.

The WoodenBoat Store sells plans for the 14'11" Wittholz catboat. https://www.woodenboatstore.com/products/wittholz-14-11-catboat

, and much heavier too.

Sail her back.

Better not, Bruce, it sprays sparks.

A tingle is sheet copper or lead that will cover such a check, tacked around the perimeter. Jake says varnish, I would bed with tar, wax or dolphinite, preferably tar. I've seen many of them on old...

Oil comes in various levels of viscosity but generally I think oil more viscous than water, so would be more resistant to the bob motion, lighter but more viscous.

You and Leopold Bloom.

Carry on! Wonderful. Thanks.

Do you like her stern?
