Charlie Jones Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 Tabernacle and king plank, bottom of anchor locker, and some of the decking. She's all decked!!! Now I get to start interior and cockpit work- finally:) [attachment over 4 years old deleted by admin] Quote
Charlie Jones Posted November 1, 2003 Author Posted November 1, 2003 here's the boat with all the decking. I found that the forum limits you to 3 attachments:) [attachment over 4 years old deleted by admin] Quote
thebob Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 That looks great. Is the 65 Mustang your tow car? Quote
Charlie Jones Posted November 1, 2003 Author Posted November 1, 2003 lol- Good eye, but no- it belongs to the folks who run the sailboat shop I share a building with. It's not running, but it's gonna have to be moved before we can put the Princess on a trailer cause we're going to have to use that door. Quote
Frank Hagan Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 Travis must be chomping at the bit now. She is really coming together nicely; I like the lines of this boat as much as any other 22' out there. Quote
Travis Votaw Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 Yep, I'm excited!! Construction is at the stage now where everything added makes a big difference in the way she looks. It's difficult for me to stay away from the shop so Charlie can get his work done. TV Quote
Frank Hagan Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 You're also getting close to the point where Charlie's "finast kind" skills are up where you'll be able to see them. Are you having Charlie finish the cabin out as per the plans, or making any modifications? Quote
Charlie Jones Posted November 2, 2003 Author Posted November 2, 2003 Basically to plan, but with some mods. Gotta have SOME custom stuff in a custom built boat. Right? Quote
Travis Votaw Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 We'll stick pretty close to the cabin plan - settee berth on each side with galley cabinets aft. Cabinet tops will have access underneath for storage and also openings to get under the bridge deck. A portapotty will be located forward between the berths per plan. This gives good access to the forward hatch on the cabin top without having to climb onto a vee berth. I can stand in the hatchway with my feet on the floor and work around the mainmast. I like other built-in features and plan to install some after I have sailed her on a few trips - just want to get the "feel" of being aboard with all my junk first. Quote
Greg Luckett Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Wow, Charlie! Those are some really nice looking fillets. Wish mine were that good. I am getting better. Did you use West System #406 for thickener? My hat is off to you!!! Quote
