[Jim Stumpf]

Leveled the cradle

Squared and leveled the hull, dry fitted the inwhales to help shape the hull for tabbing

Checked alignment of the center line

Tabbed the hull, there should be a warning in the spec's about the need for long arms to reach that center seam

That will be it for about a week or so,

No need for a long arm if you can fly and hover above center of boat.

That or have a harness and a hoist from ceiling...

Thanks Ray,

I will have to pick up my fairy wings at the cleaners.  :grin:

Looking good.

I like Alan Stewart's solution for hard-to-reach places:

Great solution.  But, I'm betting that it would get pretty uncomfortable after, say, 60 seconds.

For sure, but no worse than dropping and reinstalling an automatic tranny while on your back on a cement driveway which is damp from the 4" snowfall melt. You do what you gotta do . . .

Jim,

Looking very good indeed.

Hanging youself above the boat with epoxy in hand definitely requires an assistant!  (How else would we get to see a photo of you?)  And it helps to be a skinny young sort of sailing/boatbuilder/engineer.

 

Here is Alan Stewart's most recent solution for a hard-to-reach place; this time the place being the San Blas Islands off the Caribbean coast of Panama ....

... and the Bahamas, Jamaica, Turks and Caicos,  Cartagena, Panama Canal, ... etc.

Circumnavigating classroom:  just another tough job,  someone has to do it.

I built the stand for my CS20 with 2x4 sides at the bulkheads.  Unintentionally, it works to lean the boat up on it's sides in order to reach the bottom.  Worked out pretty well.

Looking good Jim! You are catching up to me pretty quickly...
