Re: At last a build thread: CR16 skiff
Nice work on the chines and the rest of it. I believe the chines make the boat! Are you going to glass over them? With Reid's counsel, glassed over mine with 10oz woven. Good blend of workability and protection. I regret not shaping the end of my skeg as you did. Small details like that, and not so ...

Re: Drain tube flaring tool
Dutch1, Did CL's flaring tools find their way to you? If so, are they available for me to borrow? Happy to pay postage and return to wherever. Perhaps I should send a PM also. Will do. Thanks! Is this thread still alive? I'm looking for a flaring tool myself. Let me know if it's still floating arou...

Re: C-17 Stitching
It will show up later, when you're setting stringers and frames. Whether or not this is detrimental or not is another question. Hull panels on my C19 pulled away like this at the bow. As the stringers were set inside, parallel to the flat aft section of the hull, they ran straight, and the hull pull...

Plastic drinking cup measuring hack
If this is old news t you guys, you have saved a bunch in plastic cups. Up until today, I would use 3 cups every time I mixed 2:1 epoxy, using the molded lines on the cup as gauges. Short work with a measuring cup in the kitchen allowed me to make some simple 2:1 marks on one cup, which I will keep ...

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
Probably about halfway done now, if you spend the normal amount of time on finishing details. I'm thinking 5/8 of the way.. What's that converted to metric? 15.5mm? :lol: How about the Doldrums of the Bilge? I think what has slowed me down is being at a point where decisions need to be made, and th...

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Looks like a fun part of the project!
Can you feel a considerable amount of added rigidity as you add framing? Looks like the does a lot to stiffen up the topside.

Re: Garboard Drain Plug Assembly
I’ve looked at that. Should a sleeve be used inside the hole, or just a coated hole?
Don’t worry, FG. NPT Threads for me.

Re: Hatch lid reinforcement
Right now it just has a simple stainless pull tab, but if I need I can easily add a compression latch later on. The gutters are wide and deep, but it is a semi dry storage so if I get a few drips its no big deal. The bungee cord between the frames is also a nice touch. Very clean, sir. Is the raise...
