Derek Posted March 17, 2003 Posted March 17, 2003 Cabin sides are fitted. Trying to play with porthole ideas. Lazerette installed. Most stringers installed. Time for epoxy and a little hardwood. Quote
capt jake Posted March 17, 2003 Posted March 17, 2003 Man you are building fast!! Looking good too!!! If you play hooky tomorrow, we might get together to look at some different options??? You can also give me some ideas I think! Quote
Derek Posted March 17, 2003 Author Posted March 17, 2003 Scored new power tool today. Wife ran out this morning for lattes and to play ball with my retriever, came home with a new router. Quote
Simon Posted March 17, 2003 Posted March 17, 2003 Hey Derek, what made you decide to go with the square cabin? Was it an asthetic decision, or is it for ease of construction? Quote
Derek Posted March 17, 2003 Author Posted March 17, 2003 Asthetics, I had seen a few previously, namely Bruce Kershaw's (now High C's) and Capt Jake's and really preferred the lines of the squared off nose vs. the traditional round of the designs. Quote
Simon Posted March 17, 2003 Posted March 17, 2003 Duh, I never even realised that Jake's was "squared off" until now :shock: . Does look good though, and I suppose it would be easier to construct. I have the gusseting fitted for my (rounded) cabin and need some more plywood to continue. Hope its not too hard. Quote
P Doug (WA) Posted March 17, 2003 Posted March 17, 2003 Looking good. Your cabin looks taller than others. Did you make it taller or is it just look that way because of the stage of constriction and the squared off front? Quote
Derek Posted March 17, 2003 Author Posted March 17, 2003 No, you're correct. It is taller. 10" above deck at forward corners, and added 4" height to the cabin bulkhead. Being tall I wanted to cut down on the stooping. I bang my head enough intentionally, I don't need it happening accidentally. Quote
T. Nelson Surbrook Posted March 17, 2003 Posted March 17, 2003 Good looking boat, man we are getting a lot of boats here in the NW. We will have to get together this summer and do some sailing. It's like a fleet of weekenders! Are you planning to increese the hieght of the mast as well? Quote
Derek Posted March 17, 2003 Author Posted March 17, 2003 I was just considering that last night as I was looking at modifying the locations of the gooseneck and tabernacle due to the increased cabin height. Currently I think I am looking at raising everything by about 6". A 'fleet meet' would be a blast. I know we broached this topic briefly a month or two ago, but its definitely of interest to me.
