Steve W Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 7 hours ago, Chick Ludwig said: I mount the guides at the widest beam of the boat, so when the boat is pulled all the way onto the trailer, they automatically center it. Unfortunately the 20's widest spot is midships. So on Skeena's trailer I have set as shown. The good news is I have it in my head how far the gap should be to keep them distanced.

Chick Ludwig Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Actually, midships is where I mount the guides. You could mount another aft to get the boat started onto the trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rendelman Posted October 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Well it’s done the bottom and lower sides are as far as iam going Togo. Also the roller tray awaits the trailer. The next step is let the paint cure for a couple more days before I put any pressure on the hull when I turn it over and continue the build. I just finished in time the weather finally turned and we have had some freezeing weather at night. mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hull looks like teal, but the above that, which I've always referred to as the topside, has no color that I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rendelman Posted November 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Well the boss calls it turquoise and I will probably finish the sides up to the roof and paint the top white trimmed in turquoise with some non skid stuff mixed in for good measure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Stein Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Getting envious of such a nice paint job, is that a 2 part LP you sprayed? I’d chosen Pettit polyurethane which I’ll roll and tip because I don’t want to vape the house with noxious fumes. I sprayed that once in the garage and was then frequently reminded by family not to poison them! Wishing I was friends with a automobile painter which I could bring to his shop. anyways nice job, looks fast and sleek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hull looks like teal, but the above that, which I've always referred to as the topside, has no color that I can see. The topsides are the part of the hull above the water line. I would call the section you are talking about the cabin sides, but maybe there is another term for a raised deck boat? Many parts, pieces, sections of a modern boat have parts that are similar to classic plank on frame building, so the nomenclature is the same. Some parts don't. And some parts don't even have aggreed upon names, so we make them up. I still say it looks teal, but as it is Mark's boat, he can call it what he wants.

Mark Rendelman Posted November 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Well the boss calls it TURQUOISE and their is no arguing about it and since iam not a naval architect I don’t always get the boat parts named correctly.

Chick Ludwig Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I dunno what the color is called either, but it looks like the color of Old Codger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rendelman Posted January 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 0Well it’s been snowing for the last couple of days and with my wife’s health issues I have not been in the shop for several days but things have gotten brighter and I went back to work installing the main tabernacle and mast and bowsprit tube 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rendelman Posted March 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Build of hull #24 hello everyone first I’d like to say that I think we have rounded the corner on COVID-19 and hope we will be sailing like normal this year. Ok I have totally recovered from the staff infection and once again back to work on the . I have gotten the seat tops down , got most of the cooler completed and have been going over the plans and have decided to install a rub rail screwed from the out side, I will be glueing the backer block to the inside of of the hull at the shear, so here’s the question I have to you what are the dimensions of the rub rail, also should the rub rail follow the angle of the hull or should I cut the back side so the rail is 90degs to the hull.

Mark Rendelman Posted June 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Busy day in the shop today made my steam generator so I could steam bend the forward end of the rub rail after 45min I took the bag off and the wood was soft enough to bend around the hull contur 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirilonde Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 What kind of wood wouldn't make that bend without steam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rendelman Posted June 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Hi Dave, I chose to make my solid wood and bright work out of mahogany, the rub rail is not finished yet I still have to put the bevel on the top&bottom and taper the bow ,the dim of the rail is 3/4x11/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rendelman Posted June 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Hello everyone and good sailing! been making some progress got the floor glued in got the hatch covers installed then went to installing the mizzenmast tabernacle. I did make a small error by installing the base of the tabernacle first this did lead to a little more effort in getting the mast angle and offset correct, once I feel comfortable with the numbers I will install it permanently 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Silsbe Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 @Hirilonde— say what you will, but this is a teal. I think Mark’s building a CS20 mk3. LOL I sure hope Hirilonde has a sense of humor! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
