I looked up your boat inline and couldn't get any hits about the design? Do you have a picture? it would be both gratifying and helpful.

I made a simple structure, humourously roughly based upon Leo Gooldens Tally Ho structure that I covered with a $40 tarp. It lives on a dock and is subject...

Great stuff thanks. I wish we had as many nooks and crannies to explore here.

My condolences. The one mega yacht there was moved the night before the storm.

HIde glue isn;t too bad but you do have very little time before it starts to set up. Everything needs to be planned out. Instrument makers use it for...
