Guest Oyster Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 I am so humbled and motivated at the same time. While watching the ice melt today, I opened up some forbidden fruit today. Nuff?? 8) Quote
Barry Pyeatt Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 My goodness, now that is just sick! How can anyone possibly want to even get that wet. I'd have to keep a crew just to maintain the polish. 8) Got to be a museum piece or owned by the President of Whereever. But I sure would like to have bench seats like that! :wink: Quote
umop_apisdn Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 The two biggest drawbacks I can see to it are: 1) I don't have enough space in the den to keep it, and 2) I can't get it up the stairs, out of the den, if I want to take it sailing. :-D Do you have any pics of it under sail? What kind of rig does it have? Noel Quote
Guest Oyster Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Sorry, I was too busy wiping the drool off the keyboard and left out a couple that I intended on posting. Quote
kydocfrog Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Oh man. That is so beautiful as to be nearly too much for small children or middle aged boaters to be allowed to watch... And while I can conceive of putting her in the water, using that anchor and then stuffing it back in the lazarette should be a punishable offense. On the other hand, that's my boom and gaff rig! That's what I'm planning for CG II instead of gaff jaws which, particularly since my mast isn't as round as I should have made it, could be a bit complex, fragile and sticky. Where is she? DocA Quote
umop_apisdn Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 using that anchor and then stuffing it back in the lazarette should be a punishable offense. Except that they made a nice little anchor holder that keeps it from touching the brightwork. very nifty. Besides which, you NEED the anchor. I mean, you're not going to tie that thing up to a dock, are you!!??? :-D Noel. Quote
kydocfrog Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 You can untie the rock and toss it back overboard. I mean like putting a muddy anchor all drippy and yuchy in there... DocA Quote
kydocfrog Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Oh. Dock. Not rock. Good point. Now we do have a problem. DocA Quote
Charlie Jones Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Yeow!!! HOURS of work there. That anchor may have been wet at some time but that anchor rode has NEVER seen water;) Beautiful boats. Quote
kydocfrog Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Wonder what those bow anchor fairleads are made of? Gonna make myself a couple of those. They are really classy. DocA Quote
Steve Day Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Oh Wow! I have never seen a boat so nice. I suppose that's what they mean when they say "Bristol Fashion." I love both of those boats, Particularly the inlay work and stripping on the upper deck of the kayak. Oyster, you could have gone on a long time without putting something like that out here for us to drool over. Good to have you back, Steve Quote
Guest Oyster Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 more borrowed porn, Come on guys, for the lack of your shots, I must fill in the time and space here. :twisted: Show us your stuff. Quote
capt jake Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Show us your stuff. How did you get pictures of my latest boat?? LOL Quote
Phil Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Alright Oyster these aren't quite up to par with your sculpture..umm..unadulterated sin :shock: How would you like to get the sandpaper bill? Link to his Site: http://www.skiffamerica.com There is a forward mast/sail designed for in the plans. Just none built with one as of yet??? Quote
Guest Oyster Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Gee lets get a closer look, if thats what you want. :wink: Speaking of sandpaper, the initial work begins in the building stage, prepping wood and shaping long before you even apply to a jig, FWIW. Quote
Phil Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 That's the one Oyster. What do you think of that little boat? Is that one yours? Quote
Guest Oyster Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Thats not mine. But I did see it at Georgetown boat show, and thought it was really neat. I like the convertible function tha allows air but gives you some semi protected area. I think its great if anyone has small children for rest periods for long days of boating. I also gives mamma some area to change and store dry goods. Quote
Phil Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 What bothers me about it is the beam width, as in tenderness. Making adding a "true" cockpit diffucult. For a little simple skiff w/ a 25 hp running 15 mph @ +/-20 mpg, it's attractive. I like Toms' BJ24 as well, but don't have the plans. Do you have a link to his site? Quote
