Barry Pyeatt Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 Truly beautiful Chris. I don't understand where you hid all those sailing items though. Lines, cleats, etc. Quote
tdrown Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 Looks great! What do you have under the wheel there? Is that access to the lazaratte hatch or below he seats? Quote
T. Nelson Surbrook Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 Man what a show off! That is one awesome job. I will think about it while I am on the water....If I only had it to do over.... Quote
Chris Gerkin Posted July 18, 2003 Author Posted July 18, 2003 Thank you for the messages. The cockpit is done but the lines and rigging are not. That will be soon. Under the wheel is a very old Russan compass. Quote
Robert Cox Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 Very nice Chris. I like seeing the compas under the wheel. The space under the wheel is basicly unusable. I was given a $300 Richie compas by a friend and had thought the only place to mount a horizontal mounted compas was under the wheel. I'm planning to make a mount that goes between the seats and also doubles as a drink holder. 8) Bob Quote
Guest Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 Thats almost too nice to paint. :wink: WOW!!! HOLY TOLEDO BATMAN. ! You guys are serious about fine coffee tables. Capt. Jake, Have you wet it yet? Quote
P Doug (WA) Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 Count my vote for awesome too. Where do I go to see pictures of the rest of the boat? Quote
High C Posted July 19, 2003 Posted July 19, 2003 Spectacular! I thought maybe that was a subwoofer under the wheel. Quote
captjack Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 what a great job! breath taking view! bet you cant wait to get her wet! Quote
Steve Tarry Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 Chris, that's gorgeous!! Are the vertical boards that are painted white some sort of sheet material you've bent into that shape or are they individually laid up? Either way... Wow!!! Quote
Chris Gerkin Posted July 21, 2003 Author Posted July 21, 2003 You could get the white material in a sheet but I used T & G white pine and put the boards together. I don't think the sheet material is waterproof. Quote
Stuart Benbow Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 Chris, I just noticed the little brown handle sticking out from the port seat front. That doesn't happen to be for the electric motor you've hidden in your keel, does it? Quote
Chris Gerkin Posted July 25, 2003 Author Posted July 25, 2003 Yes that is the throttle for the motor. I cut the top of the shaft and the handle off and then mounted the switch there in the cockpit. The handle needs more work but it seems OK. Quote
Frank Hagan Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 Very nice, Chris! Any idea when the launch date is? We'd all be interested in hearing a report on how the integral motor works, I'm sure. Or, are you going to be like Capt Jake and NEVER launch?!??! Quote
capt jake Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 Now that is not fair!!! I have to get the house storm ready!! Besides, I have no sails!!! I have some left over house wrap (or I will when I am done) that may be kinda fun to play with!!! You are right, probabaly next year, unfortunately. Frank :roll: :roll: :) Quote
