Joel Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 Hello All, Long time since my lass post! I finally found some time to work on my weekender. I am 3D now complete with mastbox. I decided to trim the transom flush with the deck. I posted 2 new pictures in my gallery joel Quote
Dave R1 Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 Congratulations Joel. It won't be long now and you'll be on the water. Or at least you'll be sitting in the cockpit, hand on the wheel preteending you're sailing. Quote
Barry Pyeatt Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 It looks great Joel. At the rate you are going, Jake might actually beat you into the water. Quote
Joel Posted October 5, 2003 Author Posted October 5, 2003 Well Barry, One year since I made the first cut, 09/26/02. Figured I would be done by now! Maybe if I can motivate myself to do more in the evening, (work is burning me out) I can launch next spring. I started on the bow gussets yesterday. Looks like these will be a "custom fit " item. The 34/35 deg. angles don't seem to work, and the length is off by 1.5" joel Quote
Barry Pyeatt Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 I had to cut my bow gussets to length after finding a better angle to cut them at. The angle on the plans was too far off. Even then they needed to be reshaped when you fair for the side panels because the angle is different at the top than at the bottom. Keep on keeping on Joel. If you would like someone to help, just drop me a note. I'd be happy to come down and spend a day with you if you would like the help/companionship. Quote
Joel Posted October 5, 2003 Author Posted October 5, 2003 Thanks for the offer Barry. Maybe when I put the sides on? joel Quote
