Re: Rob540's description of steering by sail adjusting only; weren't those canoe yawls i.e. Rushton's, rudderless?

Birch ply?

Check out the DK14 kayak, plans and construction article appeared in a early edition of WB.

I guess the test would be to have the same person build the same boat twice using the different adhesives, or one boat using Titebond port side and polyurethane st'board. On a cheap boat that would...

I built a boat like that as a kid. It didn't make any difference if someone was at the helm.

Several years ago WoodenBoat had and article about a guy building a strip planked sailboat for his daughter to do some long distance cruising. He glued the strips with PVA glue, titebond or such. He...

Yeah, Still up the creek, greatly shamed by your prodigious output.

This thread hasn't been hijacked... there's no one at the helm!

I'm all for it James! But remember "penny a point and ain't no one keeping score".

Steve, that's definitely in the spirit of the challenge and you started and completed your boat within the time allotted (no rules, remember), you are the first entry. What was you final break down...

I thought I was posting in Building/Repair but I guess it could go either way.

Thanks for the update.

Probably more affordable but I think you still have the problem of not being able to see where you're going:confused:.

10 -25 HP

It would work, after a fashion. The bermudan rig would have had camber where you cut it, while the gaff rig would not.

Google "5 hp diesel engine" you'll get a lot of hits, Northern Tool and Amazon among others.

Re: cooling and sound damping, I was thinking of a pulley driven air intake/exhaust fan.

I've got socks older than that.

Seriously, I figured someone was bound to have given it a try in the interim.

I've been seeing small chinese diesels for under $500, http://www.amazon.com/Morpower-ENG11070-Hp-Diesel-Engine/dp/B0052Z3XZM At that price I have to think why not?

So why not?

"Twist of Lym"...hmm. Does she track straight?:d

Sweet boat, know you'll enjoy her.

Does any have any experience with the Android navigation app Memory-Map (or similar apps)?

Even though it looks like Summer Breeze is in the lead, I'll second looking at Bolger's Designs. He specialized in your needs. Here's a link to a website about a $200 modified build of his...

Second that.

Ross,
Am I right in thinking that the Fleet is basically a Flint with straight(er) run aft in the bottom panels?

Or perhaps... The plans were included in 30 (or 40 or 50) Wooden Boat Plans which had other articles beside just the plans.

Thanks for the responses. I measured the 9.9 hp and it's 17.5 inches. I was relying on what the former owner told me i.e. 20 in. So while the motor may have needed raising, probably not to the extent...

I just bought a little home built skiff for my wife, a 13.5 ft Dark Water by Gator Boats. The distance for the keel to the top of the transom is 17.5 in. The boat came with a long shaft (20 in) 9.9...

I second the vote for eel.

John - I tried but had the same problem. You'd need to post a smaller version of the pic on your host site, then link to it.

Too state the obvious... beautiful.

Sorry if I missed it, but what are you using if not Kevlar?

John, I guessing it's a screw otherwise the fitting was attached before the deck was. If that's the case an access plate seems the way to go.

Can you remove the remaining fastener. Is it a screw or nut and bolt? Once the forward screw (hopefully a screw) is removed, screw it into the aft hole to determine if the hole is wallowed out or...

Is there a graphic or verbal description of the Bradshaw clamps?

I'll have to see the movie :confused:

If you use the search feature you'll find this horse has been beaten to death several times.:rolleyes:

We lost power for 14 hours. A transformer blew sending a diesel smelling oil all over the back of the yard. Anybody know how bad/toxic this stuff is?

Jonathan, if your primary quest is to get a light weight tub to the cabin, what about a canvas tub?

I second Tar Devil.

Luan underlayment has very low specs but the Big Box stores prime interest is cost. Occaisionally they get a deal on relatively good stuff. For a quick down and dirty proof...

Giving the rudder an airfoil (hydrofoil) cross-section should remove the vibration, dagger board too.

I'd go with a small boat like a Sunfish of Laser. If you can handle one of them you'll have no trouble moving up to something larger. Besides being a lot of fun and quick to get on the water, they...
