Hi AtTheBrink,

Moving along ok. As my two younger bro's say when they visit..."stop looking at it and keep working" :doh:

Good Lord! Sanding, mosquitoes, and black flies 8O I think I'd make the 45 minute drive home for a shower too :lol: I'm building the Nina lb22 down here in Texas and have had the luxury of an indoor build. She's outdoors for good now, on the trailer, while I struggle in the heat with the electrical, rigging, and last minute details. But no black flies or mosquitoes!

Glad you're on board Dougster

Hi Dougster,

What a nice design the Nina LB22 ! Do you have build pix ? Oh well, mom nature's elements; all part of the fun though I will gladly take the heat before the black flies and mosquitoes. On a side note it gets to 30 -35 degrees C in the summer (85-95 degrees F in your world) and I have had epoxy kick in no time. I can imagine you guys in Texas :o

I just posted on my build thread. There's lots of pics scattered through a long thread, documenting both my amazingly slow progress and the patience and kind support of the experienced builders on this forum :oops:

All thru holes in hull are drilled oversized, epoxy filled and re-drilled for appropriate hardware. The internal joints at the transom are all filleted and tabbed as is the doubler and clamping board. The bow is also filleted, tabbed and bow eye doubler installed. Working overhead in a tight space; hence the major mess under :oops: Huge pet peeve of mine - a dirty disorganized work area.

First coat S3 High Build Yacht Primer applied with two more to go. S3 HB primer is a joy to work with being water soluble and no VOC.

Hi AtTheBrink,

Thanks for this. Quick ? No not really according to my bros :lol: Just half-organized concentrating on one thing at a time. Comfortable with fairing curved surfaces.

Third and final coat on hull applied today. Letting the S3 High Build primer cure for a few days and sanding on the weekend. Pettit Unepoxy anti fouling on bottom next then on to building the flipping frame.
