Florin {VACATIONER} Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 I guess since I am the new member here and I would like to introduce myself: My name is Florin, and I am working on a Vacationer. I am in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Some of the members know me from the BYYB BBS, where I've been a member for a couple of years. We're hoping to launch sometime this summer. We are bondoing and sanding the bottom of the hull right now and probably will be ready for paint this coming weekend (or next). Hi All! Florin Quote
Mike Pennington Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 Yepper! Howdy Florin! I can't wait to see a pic of your Vacationer in the water. Mike Quote
Tim Diebert Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 Hi Florin. I am just left and down a little from you... Quote
Barry Pyeatt Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 Welcome Florin, Little different feeling here, with equally good information. I've been anxious to see some of the updates and the progress on your Vacationer. Your interior photos and ideas have caused quite a stir and a lot of comments. Glad you're back at it again. Quote
Pat Mellema Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 Welcome Florin I have my weekender almost ready to turn back right side up. I have put it up on tall horses( 48" tall) and painted the interior of her. I was trying to ffigureout how I was going to be able to paint the forward section as I couldn't reach all the way into it. Putting it up on tall horses I was able to stand under it and go through the forward hatch and paint and seal the forward compartment. While it was up on the tall horses I was able to paint the interior of the cabin except the sole as it will just need to be repainted after I get it back right side up. there will be no drips on the roof of the cabin by waiting to paint that part.

Florin {VACATIONER} Posted May 20, 2003 Author Posted May 20, 2003 Thanks guys for the warm welcome! Glad to see everyone is having fun here. Had a busy weekend sanding and filling, we're getting there. We may even have her bottom painted by the Saturday turning party. It's a close call... We also had a minor setback with the kevlar on the keel which is now being taken off due to extreme difficulty to finish the fuzzy stuff. Will post some pics later today when I get back from work. Bye for now Florin Quote
