Guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I still have faith in all of you guys, including me. But I am exempt from this one, for the failed attempt at thirty days of fame, [Calendar centerfolds] :idea: So I am providing you a consulation prize for showing us your stuff. You will have at least one week, plus or minus, depending on my time frame for spending some time for judging your shots, displayed on here, after Frank reveals his results. So what say, show us your goods, the ones that did not get that honored e-mail from the Dunkin Donuts homebase. :wink: The prize will be Michael Ruhlman's book entitled "Wooden Boats" In Pursuit of the Perfect Craft at an American Boatyard.

warthog5 Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Jake I'd like to see a side shot too. Look's Real Nice. The green/Gold stripe really set it off. You have good taste in colors and I'm picky. HeHe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Lathrop Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Do I recognize the docks at the Port Townsend festival? And yeah, where is the sailing shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt jake Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Nope, not PT (unfortunately) is is Percival Landing in downtown Olympia. Here are a few more, trying to show a side view. Opps, I forgot to rotate one of them; tilt your monitor! ;) [attachment over 4 years old deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Luckett Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I do not envy Frank's task of deciding which pictures to use. I recently did a club handbook and had to choose pictures for it. I think this calendar would be far more difficult. There are so many great pictures from so many great people, 8) . I have been collecting pictures from the forums and sticking them in a file folder that I then display on the screen like a slide show. There are hundreds of great pictures.

Guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Let me be perfectly clear here. This is a fun thread, placed up to see more boat porn, much through the eyes of you folks, what you see pretty, and for me to get ideas for my next project. :wink: No not really, but its just a genuine fun thread for us, going into the winter season, and will be pulled up from time to time, when we get builders fatigue. Even when anyone is not chosen, we all have won when we launch our boats at the boat ramps in the mist of those cookie cutter boats, and with our own childen, in most cases. In these projects, we have given more for the future than can be measured in dollars, cents and books written to collect dust in the bookshelves.

warthog5 Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Jake can you turn the 2nd one 90deg. I'm getting dizy trying to look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Potts Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Beautiful pictures - but please, Oyster! Don't rush to judgement! If this is truly a fun thread I would like to submit an entry of a boat (the execution, not the design) to NOT emulate (Don't worry, it's mine so I'm not making fun of anyone else). I just need to dig up the cd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Heck, if you only saw my first boat, to persude my wife back on the water, after she was subjected to a swamping with my firs son, six months old and her father in the ocean inlet, you would gag for sure. But you know what, the boys still talk about it to theis very days of the fond memories of diving off the bow of it. Yes it was that tall, and they sleep under the foward deck when they were small enough to fit there. All candidates will be views with kindness, as I have been in so many of you fellows shoes, the function was 9/10ths of the fun with it, followed by quick on the water, and economical for a learning process. Yes we all sometimes throw smarts out the window, and venture to far in our battleships. But that helps in the next phase of boating for sure, when we enlarge to take charge of the world.

Florin {VACATIONER} Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Sooo I'm thinkin... next time we do calendar contests... instead of making this real hard for Frank, why don't we get Frank to post all of the entries on a web page and we can have a public vote sort of like we do on the polls we do every now and then. We can even even call it "People's Choice Awards Calendar" :-) Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMetzner Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Here's one that didn't make the cut for the calendar this year. Mark Gudschinsky took this of my wife and I on launch day of As You Wish. That's not fog, it's smoke from the forest fires this past summer. John M.

ken connors Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 ill take my shot at that book, this was my entry, a left-over from last years attempt. i think it might have gotten rejected cuz of the budweiser can on the deck.....might send the wrong message. for the record, i wont have a beer while using tools, but a bucket of suds while clamping a rubrail can really make your day! 8) heres the other view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dufour Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I don't know about the Bud, (I'm a Sam Adams man myself), but I sure envy your garage with doors on both ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
