Re: GT27 Sea Keeping ability
The designer also said "I would take her across the Gulf Stream or across the British Channel". I can't locate that in the description or study plans, interested where you saw that. Edit: If it was in a thread that JM commented on, that would explain why I was not seeing it, I had assumed...

Re: FS14LS Build in Waco, TX
Just looked at your bow mold photo and it looks good. So the issue is elsewhere.
I might re lay the panels, side panels first, ensure the sheer is flat back to front, then add the bottom panels and see where they lay.

Re: FS14LS Build in Waco, TX
Something definitely odd here. Lets break it down before you glue anything. Can you put a measuring tape on the side panels at the bow? Is the "top" of the bow mold level with the tops of your frames/sheer? That looks like some serious droopy bow, which, on a flat sheer boat, will be an is...

Re: FS14LS Build in Waco, TX
Great advice...thanks. The picture I posted is just a random snapshot of where I am...it seems that when I make adjustments the panels will lay flat. I thought about screwing the panels to the transom but just want to make sure the weld between the hull and transom is as strong as can be. Having no...

Re: FS14LS Build in Waco, TX
Josh, be super-careful about the splay of the side panels. Adjust the position/stitches so that they lay as naturally as possible against the forms and transom, all the way to the sheer. I welded and taped and glassed with them splayed and it was a bit of a nightmare getting them corrected. Edit: Oc...

Re: FS14LS Build in Waco, TX
I temp-screwed all my panels to the transom to keep them from moving while I welded. Reading my own notes on this: "On the transom, there was a natural gap on the inside but the outside edges were flush, so I used the syringe to fill the gap on the inside." from https://community.boatbuild...
