Hello all,
My son and I got a CS17 kit SIX years ago when he was in 8th grade. We had a few interveneing events that pushed the project back again and again.
He's 19 now and the two of us are determined to FINISH THE BOAT. We have a lot done and a fair amount to do yet.
The hull, trunk, bulkheads and benches, centerboard and rudder, are all done. The bottom is glassed and painted. and the cockpit has a coat of paint.
So my list is: Decks, combings, rub rail, fore hatch, cockpit hatch covers, masts, tracks, and glass tubes, sprits, tiller, set the centerboard and the bolt, hardware, rigging, launch,
I'm wondering: what sort of advice and adjustments to the process has occured in the last 6 years that I may wish to consider? I have the complete inventory of hardware from B&B from 2015. Any thoughts, wisdom from recent builders? Tru and I are very excited to get it in the water. Maybe even this fall.
