grey seal

[Snoo973]

hi all, just a couple questions:
is grey seal just an enlarged eun mara or its a completely different boat?
How they sail (in short) and are they comfy for periods like 5/7 days?

[ken mcclure]

Completely different. There's a "building" article in issues 126, 127 and 128 (I think. Look in the WB Index to be sure.)

Eun Mara is a lighter boat with twin bilge keels. Gray Seal is a full-keel or keel/centerboard depending on how you build her.

The builders of the Grey Seal in the wooden boat articles, Jim and Dick Wagner, have a web page at
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JamesWagner/

A lot of the pictures from the magazine article are there, plus many more.

Theres also Emiliano's building site here but its in Argentinian so reading it could be a drama... but the graphics are good and one can follow his sequence.

theres also fellow forumite Pauls site of Adagio an Eun Mara anyone know whats happened to Paul?? havent seen a post from him in ages!!

I think the differences will become obvious as you puruse the sites weve offered... there are several on the board in the processes of getting sawdust blowing... Ken when you gonna drag them back down and start mate?! {has the honey do list has grown mate?}

Best of luck whichever way you go Snoo973!

thanks guys, a free afternoon and boats links to visit that i dont already have in my favourites .. wow.
Well havnt decided yet what to build exactly, but im in Italy now (ehy the Argentina site its not a problem) moving in Toronto with my gf this summer and in Vancouver in the... uhmmm next future . So plenty of time to decide or... put too much food in the oven.
Lets say im writing down the list of the ones id like to build, ouch... looooong list.

Might be worth looking at Bertil Andersson's sweedish boats while your there could prove another option? The site is in Sweedish...

Theres also Axel Gusstafsson's site too also in Sweedish but it doesnt seem to want to work on mine for some obscure reason anyone else having probs with Axels site at http://home2.swipnet.se/~w-2141/boats/frame.html ? Just doesnt seem to want to open up

(sigh) The honeydo's have grown a little, but the biggest problem is that the cabinet business is keeping me hopping. I can't put the molds back up until all the cabinet work is out of the shop, and new jobs keep showing up.

If I could get the dye business to take off, I could lay back some on the cabinet work and get back to boat building.

I'm about 90% convinced that I'm going to build the Ed Monk Mariner (19' powerboat) before I finish the Eun Mara anyway, since I can take the powerboat down to the rivers here.
