Thanks Dave. It's a true wineglass transom, esp once the skeg gets on there, hopefully soon.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS

[It's an Iain Oughtred Tammie Norrie, 13'6", balanced lug/yawl.] I thought it looked similar to Glossieback's pram. I like the lines he has developed, and lapstraking with thin ply is pretty cool. Yes, his is an Oughtred Feather Pram, which he did an incredible job with! It takes a good deal o...

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS

Long time no post. Have made good progress on my glued lapstrake Tammie Norrie. Been a fun and challenging process. Ordered a sail kit for it but dont expect to actually sail it till summer '25 based on current schedule.

Re: Paint Falling Off XF20 System Three Primer Totalboat Topside Paint

I followed this recommendation as well. Thinned and cleaned with mineral spirits as they recommended before they sold their own branded thinner. 3 years later every bit of the paint peeled off and I'm redoing it. total boat did refund my paint cost several years ago but it's been a pain.

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA

Having Jeff and Elaine to assist was amazing, and they were invaluable punching out the last few bugs that kept us from getting moving. Loose wires behind the switches, and bugs in the fuel tank selector valve slowed us down, but no match for some salty hands like Jeff and myself! My only regret is...

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA

Whoop whoop whoop! Huge congrats from every angle! Dan's boat looks and rides amazing(ly)! Due to work and weather i only got a few quick rides but it is smooth as silk at idle speed, jumps on plane in a heartbeat, planes like a dream. Super impressed to see all that hard work come together in such ...

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS

Had a grand time in chokoloskee. This is a massive area, lot of water to cover and to learn. Bring a gps! We mostly stuck around the immediate area, though we did do an outside run to Pavillion key, some bights near Plover key and an inside run up the Lopez and down to the mouth of the Huston. Weath...
