Yup....that'll make enough better speed it'll make up for the longer route.

74...still waiting.

WOW! I've seen the "green flash" offshore, but nuthin' like that!

Not a leak...it's marking its territory.

I've had one British car or another since 1968. Several Spitfires, Morrises, now an MGB. I have to admit that while I seldom had issues with the electronics (OK..electricals...not real electronics)...

Don't touch the controls on your TV set...you have just entered.....

Lucas was a great innovator! He invented the first three-way switch: Dim, flicker and smoke.

And birthday wished from the NW as well!

Happy birthday, Greg! Thanks for sharing your time and skills with us :)

Take a peek at Gib Etheridge's big dory thread (anybody know how he's doing?): http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthread.php?246893-Time-for-a-new-thread-Big-(34-)-dory-build/page14. Post 456 shows...

Looks like a rgeat way to go! I've always been my own pack mule to the detriment of my lower spine (among other abuses :)!

As the species responsible for much of the environmental imbalance on the planet I feel it's incumbent on us to do what we can to manage the remaining habitats. As it's unlikely that our species...

I figure my current beliefs would have gotten me burned at the stake in medieval times. I'd possible be willing to believe in a god if I could sit down with him/her/it over a beer or two and get...

Can you claim salvage rights ?!? The spoiler on the Cayman's is supposed to be speed operated, far as I know. They're a very civilized ride, but still feel nimble. Have you reported the plate to...

Waycool! I may do that on my Shearwater :)

The city here sets off fireworks from Sand Island, a hundred yards from where I moor my boat. I'd go sit on das boot and watch if it weren't for the traffic/parking/people. We'll probably just stay...

My neighbor is from South Africa. He's told me that in the managed preserves where they allow hunting the camera-toting eco-tourist is always a happy source of income. However, when they have an...

Eau de Moo!

David G...nope....but I spotted it and it piqued my curiosity. Like Wiz, I don' need no mo botes. Unlike Wiz I don't need surgery! Good luck Wiz!

Nice looking double ender (?). No affiliation, but I'm curious.

And if Ukraine falls, pray for Europe because China is watching very closely.

I never got to sail one, but they look like an absolute HOOT!

Wish I were younger, Ted. I'd grab her up in a hot second. As it is all I can do is offer you an old 2GM-15 Yanmar from my J-30. It's sitting there ignored. Probably needs a good flush out as...

There is a Biogas powered train program going in Sweden. ...

yes! Lots!

Great story, Jim! When I was a kid we had no such thing and my friend who had a nice pool table (slate bed, leather pockets) had it covered up with plywood as we used it as a workbench building a...

Spline/tongue & groove is what the article is showing. Very strong and a great system for edge joining planks/boards. Will your hatch have camber on it? Seems like most Folkboats I've seen were...

Or if they emulate politicians and simply lie?

For the 2020 election I have to go with the repeated reports (from both sides) saying that there were no discrepancies in the voting record that would have made any difference in the election...

If you mean to spline it together, cool...but if you plan on using actual biscuits I'd be very leery. They're fine inside, but I'd never use them on a boat bit (maybe cabinetry). If I were building...

I'm still waiting for evidence of natural ​intelligence.

You can always wax the driveway...

Elvestrom's "Aphrodite 101" is fairly long and lean: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/aphrodite-101

I assume you got your data from the Wood Database, but just in case: https://www.wood-database.com/ I've not done a strip plank, so I have no advice there. Tillia I thought was Basswood. Great for...

And that's just sailing it :) 40 years ago I'd have been all over it, though. Must be getting old!

You learned faster than I did :) In Portland, there is still one general "hobby shop" with Revell, AMT and the other usual suspects along with some wood kits but most now specialize in RC or trains.

:) The hearse is my daughter and SOL's toy :) While it's neither a sportscar nor what we'd call a classic, they have a ton of fun with it. They have a real coffin for it with a big plastic...

Nice! Open transom on that wherry, or was there plexi or something in there?

Looks great Alex! I still have to catch up on my mowing now that it's dry, but then I can play with the boats again a bit. What did you use to get your varnish into the StopLoss Bags? I just got...

Nice, clean little Mirror :)

I have one of those but find it too heavy to use very much. Right now my little lathe is bolted to a chunk of 2X12 and clamped in the jaws....works great for that!

And I'll chip in to buy her hajib.

Nice!

Takes too much energy. Just lock the perpetrators back inside a trailer in 103 sun.

I thought BRM referred to it as an "H-16"...but that was from over 50 years ago. There's a nice youtube of one being started and run briefly online. Sounds great :)

I'm a believer in toggles. Removable flooorboards (soles, deckplates...whatever) make cleaning the boat after an outing much easier and holding those subassemblies in with toggles eliminates the...

Giant fungi, reduced oxygen content...sounds a bit like a session of congress...

I recall guys hating to drive behind that thing because it threw every rock and bit of tire chunks behind it...sort of like driving through a rockstorm.
