CS17 #277 getting started

[wclark2048]

Plans arrived today; kit will be here (northern Vermont) soon.  The adventure begins.

Just wanted to announce myself to this forum, on which I've been a "lurker" for a couple of months.  Expect lots of dumb questions/pleas for help in the near future.

Congrats, Bill. Please keep us updated on your project.

Glad to have you participate, Bill.  Something I've noticed about questions....if you need to know the answer, it isn't dumb.

If you're scratching your head about something, there is a good chance someone is lurking that would like to know the answer as well.  In fact, I am building a CS 17 right now too.  You might ask the question that I forgot I needed to ask

Can anyone tell me what "P&S" represents, as used in Graham's "General Construction Guide" for CS 17?

"Cut Out and Install Cockpit Framing and Sides, P&S"

Port and Starboard... port is on the left looking ahead, starboard is to the right.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks, Roger...I did say it was a dumb question, didn't I?

I'm excited to be here.

Hello Bill, and welcome! I finished my CS17 this spring and have sailed on many of the lakes here in NH. You're going to just love that boat on Champlain - wow, and they have camping on some of those islands too. I'm in Tilton, NH, last name "Clark" - hi cousin!

ANd don't worry about dumb questions, I've asked them all :?

Welcome Bill

I built CS12 #70 and am currently building Lapwing  #4 - once you get started you get addicted.  Will keep an eye out for any questions.  I found the forum a great source of information and support.  Often doing a search turns up some good information.
