adla Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I am very excited to announce that I have just concluded the most pleasant *phone* ordering experience with B&B Yachts! Carla is wonderful. I have decided to build the Birder 2 after much agonizing over a variety of other shapes and designs. I am premature in my posting here since I don't have my plans yet, but I wait like a cat with baited breath! a. Quote
Hirilonde Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I'm sure you'll have fun building her. Just remember to check your virtual boat between steps to avoid drifting Quote
Ken_Potts Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Your birder will sail directly into the wind under the ash genny Quote
Oyster Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I did not know that Graham was designing desert boats too. I know there are some boats around for ice though. Quote
adla Posted January 24, 2009 Author Posted January 24, 2009 ;D ;D ;D Ok - maybe I could have phrased that differently. I am quite excited about the build, and as usual, even more excited about using the paddle boat out at Lake Mead. I hope I am not too ambitious to think I could have it done to tow behind Morgaine at BEER. a. Quote
Oyster Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 LOL! If you display your past gogetting attitude, its quite possible that within a couple of weekends your boat will at least float in water too. HEHE! Quote
