The raised deck version is just that. The deck is raised above the shear line and becomes the shelter "roof" rather than the top of the cabin. The advantage is added space in the cabin (no...

...a couple things:

1. Coon Bottom Fla. ?

2. The good ship "gratis" is a good example of not following plans. Looks like he put 'er together backwards.

3. Why not just build the raised deck...

Steve: You and I seem to have similar philosphies regarding building.
Without getting off on another tack, I have wondered about cross planking fastened with modern adhesive. It SEEMS that it would...

Back in issue #123, in the "launchings" department, there was a cute 14' catboat designed and built by Fred Bennett. At the time, he was selling plans. Does anyone know if he is still "active" in the...

Not to get away from the thread, but after bad mouthing epoxy I wonder how T-88 would work as a strip planking adhesive?

I am in, essentially, the "same boat" as you! I have had several screw and glue boats over the years and have been very satisfied with that construction method. Fussing with epoxy in an unheated work...

Well....I guess there isn't much new under the sun. Looks like John Welsford's "Sweet Pea" or the "San Francisco Pelican". Thanks for the contributions.

I guess I don't see the humor...Of course I expect to use glue....I don't want to use stitch and glue. Years past, I've done several boats plank on frame and plywood on frame boats. I am very...

Thanks guys,,,,But :(

1. Goshawk - I have the plans...got them through "the American company" mentioned in the description. Problem is the center board trunk extends through the bottom,...

I guess the problem is there are too many choices. When I built my last couple of boats, Mechanix Illustrated and Glen-L were the only game in town.
Yes I have some favorites. I started an Elver,...

For a couple years, have been researching 15 to 18 foot "trailer sailers". I have found the search to be as entertaining as building. However, I am nearing my sunset years and I need to get busy!!

There is a gentleman around Clearwater who has an "Egret" type. Was going to visit him a year ago but we couldn't make connections. I am ashamed that I can't remember his name.
At the time, the...

Lake County IS a nice place to live !! :D

The GFB and Pelican are roughly the same dimensions. The GFB-16 or Goshawk is multichine and carries a partial keel, in addition to a CB.

The Pelican is more of a dory kind of thing. Beam is eight...

Its nice to be able to afford stuff that says "marine" on it, but... Years ago I used Sherwinn-Williams porch and floor enamel (first coat thinned 50%)with never a problem. S&W tractor and implement...

Nearly 40 (yes 40) years ago we built a Glen-L "Tiny Might". It was a 12' inboard, designed for a Ford V8-60 or a Crosley 4cyl. We put a 6cyl inline Ford Falcon six in it. In proportion, it looked...

For the past six months, I have been taking one tablespoon of flaxseed (same as linseed) oil per day. My Dr. suggested this as a source of Omega-3 oils. I have to say, I feel great. Also, water just...

I'm sure this thread will yield a lot of anecdotal comments, here's the first.

Forty years ago, I built two Glen-L racing runabouts. One was an outboard and the other was a class B racing inboard....

A forumite, Fritz K, (from Alaska)had Chappelle's Dutch Style Utility Boat, a 22' scow with lee boards. He can tell you the builder. That boat was from "Boatbuilding".

Ken:

Boats from "Boatbuilding" are listed in the catalog, but I don't remember How they are defined and I'm too lazy to dig out the catalog. I ordered plans for "A Dutch Style Utility Boat" ...

In regard to discussing Christianity "within itself" :

There are no "degrees" of Christianity. One is either a Christian or one is not. One is either a Muslin or one is not. A jew...Buddahist...

Bill Edelen is a lot of things. One thing he ISN'T is a Christian Theologian. He is , however, a tireless self promoter.

As I have said, a couple of times, A belief system has to be discussed...

Takes all the fun out of it when someone makes remarks like that. Sort of smearing one's family. Christians put their love for the Holy Spirit ahead of anything else. A TRUE Christian will respect...

I have often wondered about the "other being" question. Its an interesting thing to ponder, while cutting the grass, much as is infinity.

MY opinion...or some things to ponder.

I MUST get some work done this afternoon....but!

When we discuss Christianity, we have to do it within the confines of Christian teaching or doctrine (same with any other belief system).

Jim,where is it written that Jesus did not forgive the money-changers? I can't seem to find reference to that.

Remember, in the Christian sense, one needn't approve of the sin to forgive. It is...

I'm not a psycho/zoologist, but it is fairly well established that that other critters operate from instinct. A white shark with scruples would be a much less efficient eating machine. Because some...

For years now, most main-line theologians have agreed the "Creation Story" is just that....a story.

The early writers were attempting get across the concept of the nature of sin. The idea is...

Actually have a start on an Elver, pretty much complete bottom ready for planking. Wondering if I made the right choice. No matter, I have a friend who is eager to take over the Elver project. We...

Steve:

That's a great shot!

I have the plywood for Elver's bottom, in the garage ready to cut. Unfortunately, with a daughter getting ready for college and busy with all the "senior...

Was there not a "Fishmeal" on the forum at one time? Any any rate, I enjoyed the late Ishmael even though I didn't always agree with him.
I always wanted to be Cap'n Peleg on here....but everyone...

Dave: SBI Marine's GFB-16 Trailer Sailer. A 16 by 8 full cabin design with a variety of sail options. (My main criteria is simplicity). The boat was designed for SBI by Selway/Fisher in the UK....

"Nina" appeared as "Vintage" in a WB coffee-table book, some years ago. Those pictures re-ignited my interest in old, woodenboats and set me on a search for a scow-type trailer sailer to build. ( I...

Does anyone have any interest in, and knowledge of the fishing industry in the lower Lakes prior to 1900?

For a while I dated TWO twenty year old women. I suddenly fell ill and underwent a battery of tests. The opinion of the doctors was that I wasn't WIRED for 220 :D

Meer, Thanks:

It is, I'm sure, the same animal as "Goshawk".
I wasn't aware of "Great Pelican", until now. It is very intriguing, also.

Again , Thanks

Putz? Nice talk! This is an OPINION thread, is it not? I am VERY familiar with Adam's work. Adams, himself admits he was very uncomfortable working outside his element. To the point of belittling...

Forgive my straying from the thread, but is that the "Lahoma" mentioned in Parker's, "The Sharpie Book" ?

1. I've never been a trophy hunter when it comes to boats or wimmen. As long as I'm comfortable with my choice. :D

Had you offered to perform an un-natural act with the owl, you would have been covered by the first amendment.

What happened to the wood jetski thread?
Was it too suggestive ? :eek:

Me again. I did a search and tried to find the guy who was building "Mist" and was doing some kind graphics showing the boat going together. I think he may have been associated with some university....

OK, Steve, let's put it this way: Why did you design Elver with a flat bottom as opposed to rocker...?

Yep... thats where I found it, Dennis. I even sprang for the five bucks for the "plans", out of curiousity.

Steve....Was going to contact you, but figured you'd eventually pick up on this ...
