Morningstar on wheels!!

I didn't expect to get her on the trailer so soon, but here she is! Still a lot of work to do though. Dang she looks good! I had to raise the bunks a long way to get her to sit on there. This was also the first time I welded. Please note the absence of any and all visual documentation of aforementioned welds. Nuf said. :shock:

WOW!

[kydocfrog]

I remain utterly fascinated.

From the very beginning, we knew this one would be unique, but I think the word "spectacular" isn't too much of a stretch!

[smoolie671]

Here are some shots of what we did today.

[kydocfrog]

Okay, tactically speaking we need to hold the wind and run up on you from the port side.

[Kidd]

Or give her a broadside from the stern! Arrrrgh :twisted:

[kydocfrog]

Seriously, what I am really waiting to see is your running rigging plan.

I also suspect that you could do a second role with her as a fabulous float for hire in parades during the off season. Pirate Ship Santa!

(And I won't tell anyone about the vulnerability problem you have on the port beam. Right. Like Duke ain't peddling the secret to the beans...)

Well, it's like this, you get done with one side and say "Damn that looks good!" Then you step back and say "Damn it's only half done!" Then you decide to do something else for a while. I'm going to (in theory) get the port side done over the weekend. Then I'll watch as ye all scurry around tryin ta find cover!!

[kydocfrog]

Arrrrrghhh.....foiled again....

DocA

[Kidd]

Yer still vulnerable from the stern, just like the rest of us!! Arrgh! :roll:

[smoolie671]

Ahhhh.....it warms the heart knowing that the lot of ye draw in close fer that coveted stern shot. All the while a pair of long nines lay nestled away out of eye sight beneath the cabin. Like a wasp waitin to surprise the wretched soul foolhardy enough to get too cozy with the stern. :twisted:

Hmm, might even bring a tear to me eye.....maybe.
