Well, no bones, that sounds right to me. Yeah Huck, I made it clear in my last post if Jacques or Joel says nothing then I go one piece. Jacques was online this afternoon so no comment means no need. So I'm good to go tomorrow. Then turn her and check for twist. She looks pretty good now, and I can ...

Count me interested as well. Like Spoke, I gazed at that boat often, and many times thumbed through the WB article on it, but knew it was way over a beginners' head. As a stitch and glue Jacques' design with this forum's support, and once I've gotten through Nina, I believe I could give it a shot. G...

Yeah I'm not real hot on double taping, just checking it out. The skeg is glued on now, ready for fillets and tape in the morning. I had a delay when putting it on. Bit of a problem when I noticed a little twist in the hull, caused by some mysterious out of level problem in stations B and C. I let t...

I like your idea on extending the box seats up to the console area. A little pen and pencil drawing may be helpful. One concern for my use is that may cramp up the cockpit area for fishing. But maybe that's true for the box seats just as designed as well. I haven't thought that far ahead. Also, I've...

LB 22 Skeg lamination schedule

Hey I can't find anywere on the lamination schedule or rest of the plans how much tape to put on the skeg. One piece per side or double tape it with offset like some of the seams. I believe Spokaloo used one piece and feels satisfied. That enough or should I double up? I'll be in the Texas bays some...

Sure does look big. What size is your workshop it's sitting in? Post often as this is a very interesting build I think. Especially using foam.

That's neat, I have admired the rescue minor for some time as well. Interesting how some designs grab so many people.

Well that's some good news. I'm still gonna do my little test, just to check, but mainly to get a little practise with the graphite and see how it looks.

Wow, I've missed your thread till now---great work and documentation. You did such a better job with your building jig than I did. Maybe that's why your panels were on and stitched in 4 days while I took 3 or 4 weeks and started feeling like Job! The boat looks huge and must be a very exciting proje...
