  1. Parson butt joining the second skin for the bottom plank before fitting it. I probably don't need to do this but I won't regret having done it
  2. Hi guys. Took a 12 month break for various reasons, money, disappointed at the bow not going together smoothly, other things happening. Anyways, I'm back at it with renewed enthusiasm. I putting the skin on, crawling under and filleting from below, then will tape the outside before turning over so it all holds together. I still have to put the second layer on the bottom plank. The fillets are a bit skinny but it's just to hold it all together. I'll upgrade them when I turn over and tape them as well.
  3. Rocky continues on. Cut one bulk head too small, noticed it didn't look quite right on the strong back, so checked measurements and sure enough I erred. It's a wise old saying "Measure twice - cut once!" I have decided to cut a stem and include it in the planking rather then install it later, I like the idea of having a few bulk heads, stem and transom already in when I roll over, that way there is no cradle required and I'll have a point of reference for all other fit-outs. Paul Ricelli is continuing to be amazing with help and advice. I still highly recommend him and his designs. As he says... "There a lot of boat designs out there by dead guys but try getting answers out of them" lol love this guy!
  4. Hey Ken. Any progress reports or piccies yet. I too am building Rocky, I have Rocky number 3. I will attach some piccies of my progress thus far. Stay in touch dude, we can compare notes. How cool is Paul Riccelli? so helpful with amazingly detailed email responses to any of my questions. I highly recommend building one of his designs. I too was considering building one of the "Weekender" range till I stumbled onto Paul. The build is a bit more difficult then a weekender but Rocky is so well designed I will never regret the extra challenge. Cheers Andrew
