Agreed Terry. The Pacific City dories do not have a deep vee anywhere and do quite well in open water. The bow on these and Spiras Garvies are pretty buoyant and should rise over swells and chop.

Been liking the looks of the Garvey styled boats. Was going to build a Pacific dory style boat until I was watching some videos on Garveys. I’ve watched some of Jeff Spiras videos where he designed...

Good morning
Im here in So California. I saw a Carolina Skiff (brand) design at the marina the other day. Almost like a Jon boat on steroids or maybe a Garvey. I like the Roomy design. Looks simple...

Fantastic! If as a nation we vote in leaders who’s policies cause these humanitarian crisis. Then as a nation all need to share in the crisis. Not only the border states. You want sanctuary cities or...

Brass balls!

Just heard about "bendable plywood" can this product be used in boat building? Maybe for tight curves in hull construction. Placed in layers to achieve the desired thickness then glassed or glassed...

I queried again. All State dept. site and phone person could tell me was that it is being processed "so that's good". Its in their processing facility in New Hampshire. After that all they could...

I mailed in my passport to be renewed and to also get a passport card and book. I went thru the normal process. I filled out the form, attached the picture and mailed it in with my current...

Thanks guys. Your inputs are appreciated. I will go with what I am more experienced with. I will use butt blocks.
thanks again
Jim

Agreed. I can always do better.

designer is me.

I will be building a Pacific City style power dory. The four 10ft sheets 2 for the sides and 2 for the bottom works out just a bit cheaper. I was using 10 ft to only have one joint on each side and...

Good evening
I will be building a flat bottom dory/skiff approximately 20ft in length using 3/4 inch thick and 1/2 inch thick marine plywood 4ftx10ft. I will be using butt joints with butt blocks ,...

So what did Robert DeNiro, Ellen, Steven Spielberg, Merrill Streep do to have this great honor bestowed upon them.

He’s toast

Another Supreme Court would do just nicely

Tri tip on the grill, roasted potatoes, fresh tomato salad and a nice Zinfandel

Obama thought there were 57 states. Everyone misspeaks

R.I.P

The new Darling of the Democrats. He was hated and demonized when he dare run against Obama. Now he’s just peaches. LOL

I doubt he saw it. He did not shake his Vice President’s hand either

Mitt is neither .He blows in the winds of his interest. So counting him a 50/50 is pretty much party line

Finally done. It went down party lines as expected. Glad it’s over. Maybe Congress will get to work.

Totally classless. Miss Civility..LOL

If you knew about God. You wouldn't wonder.

Check that 70 horse. Anyone with input??

I was just given a Mercury 75 horse 2 stroke with all the controls. I just need to rebuild the carb/carbs. Is this too much motor for this dory?

Had my hernia repaired in February. Mesh and repairs done with the Da Vinci robotic device. Pretty slick.

Very stupid assumption on your part. Could be any nut. The last few mass shooters eg Dayton supported Antifa a left wing organization, El Paso shooter supported Liz Warren and Bernie, The Washington...

College is not for all. A degree in a useless major just for the sake of having a degree is a waste of time. My oldest son went to college and became a doctor. He paid off his college loan. I am...

.Actually the polls show more Americans oppose impeachment. Also among Democrats support for impeachment has gone down double digits

Trump will survive and will be re-elected.
Pelosi will hang on to the articles.

Really the public wants him thrown out???? What public are you talking about

,
Sorry for the late reply. I’m not on here much and lost site of this post. I retired from the electrical utility here in So Cal. Started out reading meters then worked on and with the crews,...

And that is what it was all about.

The Senate will do their part and the President will stay in office and go on to be re-elected. I wonder what the Dems will try next when he is re-elected. This impeachment was a political hit job...

Pulled the plug and retired effective November first. Time to start the next chapter of my life. Exciting times. Was hard to walk out the gate after 37-1/2 years. Taking my tools out of my work truck...

Pardon for what? No crimes have yet been proven. Lots of allegations but no crimes committed to be pardoned.

Thank you for the info Dave. It is and was not my intention to start a political conversation. Just trying to purchase a few prescriptions that my insurance stopped covering. Anyone else with a...

Good morning
Do any of you guys order meds thru Canadian Pharmacies? Legit ones. I have two prescriptions that no longer will be covered by my insurance. My General practitioner told me to give...

Cut back the bad wood and cleaned off the wood from the now exposed screws 5. Wet the exposed wood with brush and epoxy. Built a dam and filled with thickened epoxy. Large filet covering all exposed...

Actually clear Douglas Fir frames. Mahogany plywood sides and bottom

The boat is a 12ft plywood skiff. The sides,transom,floor and all frames are epoxy and screwed in place. A very stiff boat. I doubt a hard spot in that part of the boat would be an issue. Everything...

frames, gussets and plywood side is solid. only that section of the chine log is bad. Still thinking of cutting it back and applying a filet of thickened epoxy.

4301543015Here's the offending chine log.

Bingo Kevin
That was my first thought. Any glass cloth first before the filet?
Jim

Good Afternoon
I was in the process of my yearly repainting of my 12ft plywood skiff when i noticed 2 sections of the 1x2 chine log had rotted thru to the plywood skin. Both are approximate 6 inches...

Thanks for the reply

Replacing existing tackle with a more capable tackle are the mast and arm stout enough for more weight?

Going to build some scale models based on the pictures and measurements provided. I want to build one of these dories. Really like the lines.
