so many years, we have the same boats in the same spots,many locked up while folks are brunching it up i guess.
Personally, I would like to build on my very short and quick visit aboard Snoose with...

open MORE spaces .saw the big nogs into little nogs
smaller pieces of wood are more stable than big ones.
3, 2 inch plans are more stable than one ,six inch plank.
That is why teak decks are...

The way to stabilize the large chunks is to run MORE saw kerfs into the wood lengthways, not cutting bolts, and fill those new kerfs with epoxy, thus , creating a laminated deadwood/keel, not to...

so, if yer building an epoxy boat, don't attach it to a caveman keel ,maybe ?

yea just wash the texture with a brush, apply the paint thinly, as in, pull it out, not thin it out.
it does not need grinding off or re doing until the grit is filled with paint and no longer...

it has to do with the Boeberts ,her husband and her sons

If the boat is not leaking, I might just put a wrench on the bolts for a feel. Too loose? crazy tight? Evenly cranked down?
The "big nogs of wood" speak to the instability of the keel structure...

those recessed type? put em in the bow
sit on top types...put em on the cabin front corners

a decade or two on a boat in the tropics....all those cd's gone rotto.

I would think those bolts are lags.
As lags, I would want to remove them for inspection and "hardening up" the holes anyway.

yes yes, epoxy

Have you ever brought her to the PTWBF Ron?

when he gets his keyboard hooked up ?

first he should buy a 1958 rowboat

I hope he dissappeared from that boat as fast

...like when i was telling aussies to put white spirit in their primus burners .
it not the same thing here and there

bats again ?

Dolfinite uses real dolphin belly
dolfin marine uses olestra

What are “deck frames”… are those deck beams?
I think that mighta thrown some too.
I always said overhead . An overhead ceiling would be slats or cloth like on a car or panels .

I never heard that term!
The glossier you can make em, the easier they will be to keep clean.

Is a car to just follow behind the bicycle ?
or a gaggle of them?

What is a “deck head” ?
In the states we have dickhead but we don’t paint them , they paint themselves .

“Screw and glue” is the “caveman “ construction I referred to earlier.
There is really no point .

About five years after I sold “kutty ”, my Norwegian kutter, a new owner contacted me with some questions and photos. The boat had been stripped,cut and trashed.
I would have felt better taking her...

That is all I use . I no longer trust bronze .

A ten point checklist tacked to the laundry room wall would cure these problems.

Would that be the USCG Auxiliary courtesy inspection stickers type of inspection? That’s pretty simple and low key. A bona fide uscg inspection I imagine would be ten times more fraught with red tape...

Not being a paddler, I can’t speak to this, but I wonder… how the heck you can figure out how to build that then get stumped on how to finish it? It’s fantastic !!

I just built a “ tow bar” for my friend Jesse , the “water mayor” of gig harbor. You may know him, 14 ‘ hi laker named “the binge”. A vertical post a few feet forward of the transom, removable. Most...

I would not even consider using shingles or shakes for anything these days. It’s nothing but a brag, a sign of vanity and wealth . Or a New England code that requires the silly things

I made the shakes for the roof of my first house of an old wrc log that was left on the property from decades earlier. Used a broken machete and two firewood wedges, didn’t even know what a froe was....

Later, had my right lens shot out of my eyeglasses , trading rounds at the sandpit with my friend Billy. I still say he pumped his bb rifle more than the agreed upon three times.

I converted our picnic table into a bunker with a few blankets and defended President Kennedy from Krauts and Japs and Ruskies.
I should have protected him from Americans.

Consider making the whole cockpit a drop in stitch n glue. Minimal or zero framing, just epoxy filets with a bit of fg tape.
With epoxy, we have the ability to avoid the pitfalls of conventional...

What is most common with canvas is the rip it off and throw it away.
But the concern for edges remains the same for cotton, Fg or dynel.
left open is open to dings but also open to inspection. ...

What is the answer to homelessness ?
Is this not driven by homeless people discovering boats ? in part anyway.... homelessness does not account for vessels like Hero, Avalon, Curtiss of course....

yea this checklist is demeaning and insulting to any employee , at least that is how i would regard it.
but like others, i have (pretty much) never been one or had one, (an employee, not a list)....

That there is the original stereotype of ..."your fathers Buick".

Don't interupt the surveyor?' he is not doing eye surgery.
unless this vessel is built of some of that aussi/kiwi miracle wood, you are fcked.
I've seen this a score of times..fine furniature...

gentrification

on a par with holding gun manufacturers liable for shootings

Woodwind is one year younger and one foot shorter for qualification ,so this is sobering.

it's the pots

It's a defect of every god damned conventional cabin ever built, canvas covered, butteryfly hatched,dried out bedding compound, oak trimmed,copper tacked crap.
but thats just my opinion.
There...

storebought oars ?
like...from a store?
nex thing ya know, people are gonna start BUYING sails !

There is a "spare" switch, maybe wire up a 12 volt audio visual aid on how to complete the 11 pointchecklist rather than a so called "list"printed on a piece of crunchy granola processed tree.
is...

i think that strap thing on the mast is not a thing.
the gooseneck goes to a short female track on the mast
maybe i'm missing something ?

#11 Use Joes' toothbrush to scub on/off switches clean.

Hey whaddya think that view is behind her ?
I think Mc Neil is on the left and Eagle Is. on the right.

turn in the mancard Jim, just hand it over

Oh yea
