  1. Question: Has anyone ever tried to permanently fill the bow and stern segments with styrofoam before skinning ? Are there any experiences or opinions?
  2. Hi Frank, Adminstrator of a web forum is time-consuming and holds stress moments, so I just say here: Thank you very much for your work!
  3. Hi, the zero point ist the end ot the stern, measure everthing from there
  4. Hello Craig, maybe this Thread can answer your Questions:
  5. Hi Bignose, they should actually be identical. Most people mount the plywood coaming so that the two bottom rings pinch the skin. So the discrepancy should probably be barely noticeable afterwards as long as you get the screws through all the rings cleanly. The upper ring should always stand so much over the middle one that your spraydeck has a good grip all around.
  6. Hi Bignose "This bracket is to be mounted on the top of the Frame locatet at 8`2". It´s purpose ist to support the underside of the Coming when you push donw on it." This Explanaition and some additional Information is noted on the Vardo Plans, sheet 2.
  7. Hi, this is an 1:20 Model of an Vardo with extra inserts for Hatches. You can see the final full scale Boat in this Post: the seam line is done asymetrical on the edge of the Gunwale
  8. Hi Garrett, what kind of Fabric is this ? I glue Polyester Fabric with "Sabacontact 70t". I have heard glueing Nylon is not as easy. I have glued a long cut. It is like new, but i have glued it from inside, where no Coating is on the surface of my fabric. I think you have to make some tests.
  9. HI Sailormon, here you can see my results by using an coated polyester and an synthetic resin varnish: https://messing-about.com/forums/topic/11660-vardo-launch-in-bavaria/?tab=comments#comment-107993 + durable glueing (stern / bow), or after scratches + hot shrinkable + not hygroscopic * shiny finish, people do not realize it is an SoF -relatively heavy, applyed many layers of resin - i think it could be more durable (e.g. scratches) so i decidet to try next time an uncoatet ballistic nylon and applying an urethan coating - we will see, i am very interestd to hear (and see) about your experiences.
