QCHOTMIX Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hello all, Finally after selling a boat, contemplating trying a sloop to cat ketch conversion on an existing hull, studying my set of plans for CS 17 #154 that I've had for over a year and reading this forum daily, I bit the bullet and ordered the plywood to begin what I hope turns into a nice sailing vessel. Is there anybody in proximity of Tuscaloosa, Alabama that is currently building or still has a CS 17 or 20? I've studied lots of pictures but would still like to see one up close. I've really enjoyed keeping up with this forum and I am sure that as I progress in this adventure, I will have plenty of questions for you guys. Thanks in advance for the help and advice, Johnny Turner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Whitney CS#70 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Johnny You have a great project ahead of you. While I was building I found everyone very generous with there advice. It it a great way to check things out 'before you cut'. And at the end you have a great vessel to get out on the water with.

Kidd Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Congratulations!!! I used to live on the Black Warrior river in Demopolis. I currently live in Atlanta. I built and own CS 17 hull number 113 here. You are going to build a great design. The construction method is strong and simple. With a little care you will have a great boat. There is a lake on I20 close to Anniston. If you would like to meet there and sail in my CS. Just give me an excuse to Sail OH yea, PICTURES MAN PICTURES!!

QCHOTMIX Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Kidd, Thanks for the invite. I'll take you up on that offer sometime in the near future. I believe that would be Logan-Martin lake at Pell City right? Johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidd Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 That sounds like the one. It looks like a good lake to sail on if you can avoid the bass boats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
