Re: ST21 'Skinnydip' build, and boating adventures, Noosa, Australia
Hi , I do not want to distract from the interesting conversation about supplying your boat with perfect electronic devices but while I was reading in your thread I wondered what happened to featherpram ? Will you take it along as the new tender or stick with the R13 or will the nicely cleaned blow u...

Re: ST21 'Skinnydip' build, and boating adventures, Noosa, Australia

Re: ST21 'Skinnydip' build, and boating adventures, Noosa, Australia
Hi, I would just use oil like line seed oil 3 to 4 times always with a drying time of 2 weeks in between. It becomes really water resistent and has the advantage that it looks perfect because it lets the grain of the oukume come out more. The disadvantage is that one should do it every year again. M...

Re: AD16 (Tipsy) Myrtle Beach
Hi, Beautiful pictures, this is exactly what I also want to do as soon I can take my Adelie to the water. Now it is still too cold. I have one question about the picture with a red plastic container behind the transom. Is this a petrol tank for your outboard and how did you attach it ? Is it permane...

Re: AD 14 KIELGE
Hi, As You all know a boat is never finished and therefore I show you what I have done to make my life easier when I slip my boat. It takes me 20 minutes at the slip until I am ready to push the boat into the water. I tested this at a shopping centre parking lot without the boat on the trailer so I ...

Re: AD16 (Tipsy) Myrtle Beach
Hi,
Beautiful pictures and at last a real boost for potential AD builders. I hope they look at your post. I am so glad to have my AD14 built over 6 Years and in May I will sail her again.
Greetings from Karl

Re: Epoxy fillets ingridients confusion
Hi, I used all three of them for all my boats fillets always 40 % woodflour 40 % microballoons and 20 % silica and mostly I achieved that by adding 1 teaspoon full of silica and 2 for wood flour and micro balloons. I stirred the ingredients into the epoxy after the epoxy was stirred for 5 minutes by...
