Hey JB77, Kirby is not available in Aus, (cant mail dangerous goods, and no importer/supplier.) Not sure about Fine paints?

Looking at Mikes work up to this point I reckon he will have it pretty close. I don’t want to jinx you mike :) but probably spot on.
Any adjustments can be made as you said Nick.

Plastic weld?

Has the human species ever been capable of live and let live?

if you buy white kiwi grip you can get it tinted any colour you want at the local paint shop. You may already know this?

bummer on the engine slacko. Feel for ya.

A trip to the chiro was also what left me unable to walk, or lie down, crawling to the toilet, or breathe without pain,no medication touched it, etc.

Sarah Key’s has dedicated her whole life to treating back pain. I dont think there is much she hasn’t seen, and she says you have to move it. The vid above is not a yoga session. If you can get your...

You need to move it and let it know it’s safe to move.
The nerve contracts the muscle which tightens the nerve and around you go.

You got to move it move it.

Leo from tally ho is getting his spars made in the PNW. Check his latest vid.

Have no idea about the logistics of the rest, but for accommodations would a Camper van suit? Transport and accommodation in one.

I can ask him.

I’m guessing it’s this one. Never gets old.

A mate of mine finished building one just last year. He followed the plans with the cockpit and there wasn’t a lot of room underneath once done. Was very close to the waterline so I’m not sure I...

I’ve always had trouble finding a half decent sand paper. Thanks for the info, I will definitely get some!

Jeez… you earned that!!! Welcome to Aus.

Shrooms have the wonderful, almost motherly quality of guidance. They will take you as far as you need to go as long as you are respectful and can trust the process, of which you are.
The dosage is...

Hey Rick, what’s the slope of the forward of your cabin top? Would it suit to match that?

Hey Mike,
Great little project you got going on here! The Oregon has held up well, should be some nice timber under there.

“Smart” is quite the interesting word including pain and mental distress hidden in there.
1. astute, as in business; clever or bright

2. quick, witty, and often impertinent in speech
a smart...

I enjoy these knot tutorials thanks asemery. Ignore the ol’ grumps.

Thank you gentleman!

Thank you Andrew and thank you Rumars, (how do you know so much: )

You could go a hand held. Electronic or lead line. My first boat i had paper charts, hand held gps and a lead line for anchoring depths. Shallow draft cat so it worked ok. (Pre fancy nav apps) Or you...

Hey Ron, a shame to lose the ol’ deck look but I get it.

Yeah its a bummer for him and the race.
It looks like the Tashiba 36 is built strong.
The hull is still in tact and looking at ways to get it off. Hopefully he still has a boat!...

Both? :)
the last 20% of the job takes 80% of the time, or something like that.
As said above, a list and a cuppa will help. GL

Details coming out on Guy hitting the rocks, losing his boat and having to swim to shore through the breakers.

Hey David, congratulations on your build and first sail! What a wonderful little boat.
Its good to learn some tough lessons straight up, no one was hurt, no damages. Might save your but later :)

excuse the lack of detail…
But before you start make yourself a little jig like this, (don’t know what it’s called)
it will transfer the hull line to your deck

edit to add, photo is...

that’s awesome!

Hey Mush, You could apply the primer first and see how much you use before ordering the Kirby’s.
both products should have sq ft estimates.

I get that.
edit to add, you will probably find she steers beautifully with sheet to tiller, and can use the pilot for engine and difficult angles.

Hey Greg,

I heard willie Nelson died,
he was singing on the road again…

To love and to have lost, is better than to never have loved at all.
can’t remember where I read this years ago? But I find it is true, hurt and all.

Your boats coming along great Andrew!
what about a couple of small light boards in your rigging? You could even look at having them run on batteries = no holes in your boat.
I’m not sure how much...

which will make it hot in the summer. Bare wood= bare feet.

Do your best to imagine/calculate how much time and money a project such as this would take.
then times it by a minimum of 12 on a good day then times that by 2 and your getting close. Kinda...

another long time lurker here Jim. Never had a lot to offer on your crafting, but back pain. Haha, I can. Lift with your glutes. That was a game changer for me.

Haha, a sliding/adjustable bar?
