Recommended Posts

Finished the rub rails,companion way seat, sliding hatch and drop board, installed the hand rails, port holes, and made the rudder box. installed the radio and power panel

The rudder box is made of HDPE (like UV stabilized cutting board material) Cut patterns out of left over plywood then copied with the router and pattern bit. I hope it works out. I have one more piece of 3/4" for the rudder.

I added 18 new pictures to my Picasa gallery.

That is one amazingly sharp Weekender. The interior and trim are great, and the tiller head proportions are among the best I've seen for the design.

But I have question that I know a lot of other people really want to ask but are too embarrassed. 

Where are you really building that boat?  ;D  There has to be somewhere, a room, a shed, something, where you are building her -- you know, with tools and sawdust and paint drips -- and then dragging her into that immaculate garage to take the pictures. Fess up!  ;D

Thanks for the compliments guys. I got a few more pictures up today. Finished the mast and boom attachments. Couldn't resist standing it up :) Still need to get the chain plates and bowsprit installed then I will start working on the rigging

I got her on the trailer today with the help of a few friends. It went really well, just jacked up the front and slid her on. The tongue was very heavy so I moved the axle forward 1 foot. Thats as far as it can go before the bend in the frame starts. It seems a little better now. At least I can lift the tongue. I will have to get a scale and check the actual weight.

Now we need some new bunk brackets I figure about 14" if I can find them

Here are 6 new pictures http://picasaweb.google.com/jsacho/SVIslandGirl/photo#5206340862483937362
