Jknight611 Posted December 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Just about time to update my build photos of the Flinders project. I’ll be putting it on the trailer this week, then completing the masts. The big solar panel on the cabin powers the Torqeedo, there will be 2 on the stern rails to power the cabin house load. Someday I’ll take photos with all the clutter picked up…..no, that is my version of picked up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Anderson Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Jay and Carol Flinders is looking incredible. More pictures please when you get a chance. Don't worry about any clutter. Simply amazing having watched you bring her to life out of a pile of wood, some epoxy, and B&B Designs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Stein Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Congratulations, what a beautiful dream boat! You’ve done a remarkable job and I think Captain Matthew Flinders himself would be proud of your accomplishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jknight611 Posted December 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 The hull is nearly completed, just some fiddly stuff to complete, another coat of varnish in the cabin, and touch up some paint. Masts are nearing completion. A few minor trailer things to resolve. Then on to a travelift so we can complete the Coppercoat and see the centerboard go up an down!

Don Silsbe Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 How are you finishing them, Jay? I found a new system for prepping aluminum that is approved by Boeing, the Air Force, etc., and it’s eco-friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
