Awesome ! Looking foward to seeing you build it. THe Bellhaven 19 is a good looking boat. Glenn

Also I found Wes` CS20 website a fantastic resource. I`d like to do the same type of "chaptered" blog, of my build, to help those interested in the Spindrift construction. I`ve never written a blog so if someone knows a good "free" , 'build a blog site' I`d like to try my hand at it. Thanks Glenn

Thanks for the kind and encouraging words Wes,Dave and Jim. Well my epoxy,tape and mixing/measuring stuff should be here soon. My garage is still a mess and I hope to get it cleaned out this weekend. The easiest way to clean a garage is to haul everything out pitch what needs to be pitched and neatly find a place for everything. Snow and/or rain for the last month or so has hampered my progress. My garage is 12x24 , more like 12x18 considering the work bench and stationary items. Once this place is clean and I can get started in an organized way I will commence the S12. Let me try to upload a picture. Glenn garage blues

Hello everyone, I just wanted to stop in and say hello. I`m at the very beginning . I am building a Spindrift 12 and a CS20. The Spindrift will be the practice boat and I hope to have her done by late spring. Also once the Spindrift is in the water I wont be so impatient to get the CS20 done in a rush. The CS20 will start in the fall. I have plywood. Epoxy and tape should be in sometime this week. In the mean time I`m cleaning out my garage/workshop. Today I built the circular saw scarfing jig(woodenboat magazine) and it turned out nice. I sold my last boat 7 years ago and I miss the water. I live in western PA 25 miles north of Pittsburgh. I have built 1 boat years ago, an 8 foot hydroplane from Glen-L or maybe it was Clark Craft??? Since then my skills have been home remodeling and hobby furniture making. I`m an amateur and a little apprehensive but thanks to some great websites and the info here I should have a good boat in a few months. Pictures will follow. Glenn

Hello Zeca welcome to the club. Try calling by phone during normal business hours M-F . I too tried email without success. When I called they answered right away.We talked for a long time about boats and pets and many other things. I think I might be part of their family now Lol :-). Its a small shop and I`m sure everyone is busy at all times. When the phone rings they will stop to answer it. Glenn
