Scott Dunsworth Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 This build is way past allsome, Keep going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Jknight611 Posted March 17, 2022 Author Posted March 17, 2022 It is really not sideways! Hope to launch next week at a friendly shipyard travelift. Solar panels are all working great, hope to motor around a bit and test the Torqeedo pod drive. 4-1 on the mainsheet sure makes a pile of sheet! Quote
PadrePoint Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Yes, quite a pile there. Your boat has some great features and I like the colors you’ve chosen. I thought I spotted your CS20mk3 in a video of a Texas event. I didn’t capture the shot. I look forward to seeing how your initial time on the water goes. Edit: Found the video again… Texas 200 in 2017. Is this you? Video link: Quote
Jknight611 Posted March 18, 2022 Author Posted March 18, 2022 Yep, that was us at “Army Hole” during the Texas 200. Graham was there in Carlita and has written a recap of the adventures on B&B’s website. I think the CS MK series is the perfect boat for sailing that event. 1 Quote
Joe Anderson Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Wonderful to see Kalos out in the sunshine. Enjoy her launch. Looking forward to photos. Quote
Jknight611 Posted May 16, 2022 Author Posted May 16, 2022 We did our “technical launch”, had a minor problem with the centerboard trunk, all good now. We wanted to test the rigging before I paint the masts, wasn’t smart enough to do that on our Core Sound 20.3. So the boat is back home getting the masts painted and some minor additions, stuff like binocular rack, spice rack, stuff like that. Notice Carol taking a nap on the bunk behind the lee cloth. The game warden after he completed his inspection, declaring it to be a boat! Quote
Nick C Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 Outstanding!! She's a beauty. Looking forward to photos of her underway. Quote
Joe Anderson Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 Great work Jay. You are a detail person and it shows. Just stunning. Even the game warden looks pleased! Quote
Chick Ludwig Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 Sure is nice to have a game warden to tell us we have a boat! I hope ya paid him well for his services. But, I agree, she IS a boat! Looks beautiful! Quote
Jknight611 Posted May 17, 2022 Author Posted May 17, 2022 The game warden said he had inspected various “homemade “ boats and the general thought it is easier to conduct a “pre license “ inspection than a rescue/recovery. He mentioned some of the boats he inspected/rejected he wouldn’t cross a farm pond in. 2 Quote
Don Silsbe Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 She is stunning, Jay. You must be so proud. I can’t wait to see her under way. Quote
Jknight611 Posted May 19, 2022 Author Posted May 19, 2022 Thank you all very much, it is a beautiful design, with a interesting construction technique. Built basically “inside out” goes quickly, till you start rubbing on it! Quote
Chick Ludwig Posted May 19, 2022 Posted May 19, 2022 Awww, forget the "rubbing"! Just slap truck bed coating all over it! 1 Quote
AmosSwogger Posted May 20, 2022 Posted May 20, 2022 Nice work. What are your plans for her maiden voyage? Quote
