Re: LB26 LOBSTER by Fatih

Re: LB26 LOBSTER by Fatih

Hi Faith, I have just popped onto the forum to check in as I do from time to time, and I am glad to see that someone else is tackling the LB26. BUT...

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM

Re: Reefie's LB26

The design of the swim platform (and I must admit that I am no engineer , and I also tend to over engineer just to be sure) has been something that I have given considerable thought to with regard to the concerns that have been raised.

Re: Reefie's LB26

Hi Guys, Thanks for all the kind words of support and encouragement. Well I have finally managed to find some time to do a bit of work on the swim platform over the last few days.

Re: Reefie's LB26

Hi Guys, Sorry for the long delay in responding but it has been quite a year. Towards the end of our last harvest my mother in law started going downhill with cancer and she moved in with us.

Gee Glossyblack,
I've been too busy to visit the forum in a while, and I'm shocked to hear of Mrs Glossyblack's medical condition.
I'll have my fingers crossed for good news!

Cheers Reefie

Re: Reefie's LB26

Hi Guys, I haven't had much spare time to put towards the build lately, but I have managed to glue on the swim platform bezel and start laminating up the panels for the swim platform deck insert. http://gallery.bateau2.com/albums/userpics/90892/20181110_135231.jpg http://gallery.bateau2.com/albums/u...
