BRS 15

[rstanley]

I've started building my BRS 15 and need to see if anyone else has built one and would help with some instructions. Under the heading of "Installing the Keel Batten" on the top right hand side of the Hull Assembly Side page I am missing the first 2 steps. For some reason they didn't print. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hi Robert,  Great to see a BRS 15 coming to Washington NC. Didn't build mine but really miss her as the BH19 turned out to be a great boat but more than I really needed.  Will send you a PM with a small file of notes I collected on BRS15 when I figure out how to attach the file.  Really liked the Andersen Bailer that builder installed. Great luck on your build.  Rick

i can't find my 1 2 items on the keel batten either.

I built my BRS 15 several years ago.  I don't remember any major problems

with most of the boat.

My best memory was that i clamped the batten to the transoupme and both the temporary frame

and forward frame.  I then pulled the bow secton down so i could line up the amount needed to removeto fit in, 

Any material removal i would have used a plane and using estimating to trim as needed.

NOTE: I used   lot of epoxy thickend to fit parts,  After painting wood and filler are not noticable.

I enjoy my boat qnd find it easy to sail. The boat is much more stable and safe that the skipper.

I have sailed it in weather the i was very nervus about getting back upright.
