Helluva Job Marc. You got a lot done and the workmanship looks great. But sad as it is we have to tuck our toys (tools) away for the long cold winter. :cry: I hear Mother Nature has it in for us this year so I'm planning on 3 weeks on a beach in Mexico to shorten the winter have you got any plans?

Hi Rick,

Thank you Rick, Yep sad indeed and really cannot wait for May-June '15.

Rick, enjoy your free time to recoup in the sunny south, you sure deserve a break ! Our brothers (and sisters ?) will be boat building but we will sip a few cold ones :lol: I plan on dropping by next year to see yours and you are welcome to come by Wolf Lake for a peek - about 35 minutes from downtown at the north end of Gatineau Park. I may take income averaging as well for an additional 5 weeks of vacation time. And if you need stuff at the Chandlery, let me know.

Marc

Hi CL,

Thank you for your words CL. It passes my QC/QA but there are always things I would have done differently. One thing I learned from my Glen-L build 30 years ago and career in Navy ship design is that I will never have square corners anywhere on a boat and never a joint where two panels butt next to said corner. The panel over the port and stbd lockers at stern is cut from one piece with a generous radius and also the butt joint is 6 inches forward of that corner. Hopefully no stress cracks this time :lol:

Hahaha, that separates the boys from ahemm the men :lol: We try to keep busy Larry, cross-country skiing, inside projects, snowmobile at times. In all honesty, it is a very difficult period because we wake up in the dark and by 4pm it is dark again...with brutal cold spells and wind chills of -40C (-40F). As I get older, tolerance to cold disappears and I am really fed up now. Global warming ?...sure bring it on. I would love palm trees in Ottawa.

Marc

Hi all,

She is all wrapped up for the winter :roll: A long spell before getting back into it. Not in photo but I added 1" X 2" all around the gunwales to stiffen the hull sides; the straps were stressing it somewhat.

Hi Justin,

Yeah...long break but I am cutting some panels in the meantime. Only a few more weeks of reasonable weather here then lock the fence and wait. :roll:
