ricardo Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Ok, I was going to wait till the launching day with some action pics... This is Touche' in my back yard waiting with patience for the big wet. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid142/p704c6244b026f5ea786d47d6e76df9d1/f6c02293.jpg Quote
P Doug (WA) Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 It worked if I copied and pasted the address. No matter about that, it is a beautiful boat. How long did it take you to build it? Very very nice. Quote
Scott Dufour Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 I cut and pasted the link into a new window too; worked well. Your boat is beautiful. The transom finish absolutely glows, and it looks great with the rubrails. I'm envious. Quote
P Doug (WA) Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 HOLD ON! I looked at your pictures again, love your boat, is that trailer made out of wood? If so what keeps it from floating when you put it in the water? Quote
ricardo Posted October 6, 2004 Author Posted October 6, 2004 Oh, I feel like a complete cyberdumb sometimes. The trailer is made out of massaranduba , iron wood, I think. Heavier then water. Amazing stuff. You can't blow a nail in it without pre boring. It's really realy hard. Nice you can see Touch Quote
edt Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 No luck here. When I cut/paste the url I get a permission denied... Suspect your server/service limits who can view pictures (I am in Canada). Ed Quote
Frank Hagan Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Today I can see the pics ... imagestation must have some blocking in place to prevent the pics from always showing up. The boat is beautiful, Ricardo! Good work, especially the high gloss finish. What kind of paint did you use? Quote
ricardo Posted October 6, 2004 Author Posted October 6, 2004 Let's try it like an attachment Build it was much easier. Frank, it's automotive two part p.u. sprayed by someone who know how to handle such thing, in a paint booth etc. P. Doug, I bought the plans in april, 2001. But you know when I had the time i didn't had the money and when I had the money... [attachment over 4 years old deleted by admin] Quote
JeffM Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Beautiful, Ricardo! I am planning on leaving my transom bright also, but hadn't decided how to deal with the ugly edges of the ply sides and bottom. Yours is very finished and elegant. Jeff CS20 #65 Quote
Scott Dunsworth Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 What a beauty!!!!! That is one of the nicest finishs I have seen. GREAT JOB. Scott Quote
Richard Whitney CS#70 Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 Well done ricardo. Nice to see another CS17 in the southern hemisphere. I am a couple of weeks away from getting mine into the water to be ready for summer sailing. Nice job. Quote
