Re: Reefie's LB26
We get sick when we dont see them, really loving this build
Re: Reefie's LB26
Yes Reefie. Please keep lots of pics coming. Who knows what someone could learn from the simplest photo. Besides, this is one of the few threads I follow and get notices on. So the more photos you post, the more often I will have a reason to visit the forum. 
There ain’t no ride like this in Disneyland!
Re: Reefie's LB26
Amen! Keep the pics coming!

Re: Reefie's LB26
Thanks gents... just checking, and I will keep the pics flowing.
I will be off farm for the better half of this coming week, so there won't be any boat building action.
Happy building to everyone else.
Cheers Reefie

Re: Reefie's LB26
Boat looks great. Love seeing and hearing about the progress. Nice work!
Re: Reefie's LB26
Hi guys,
I haven't been able to get a heap done this week due to my work trip, but I managed to cut out and glue in my thruster tube. I will fair in a spoiler on the leading edge and radius the trailing edge.
Also thought I would post some interesting (well I think so anyway) information about our local inlet - Wilson Inlet. It is landlocked for about 6 months of the year, and in winter when the water level rises to a point at which the potato growers and low lying land owners complain, the local Rivers and Waterways Commission intervenes and manually opens the bar with heavy earth-moving equipment. This year they used an excavator and dozer. The first two photos are from a few weeks ago - the day they opened the bar (please excuse my finger, or is it someones bald head, in the second pic). The last one is from last weekend after the outflow has properly opened the bar, and is taken from another lookout. You can also see our local surf lifesaving clubhouse in the lower left of the photo.
I have also begun marking out a template for the swim platform.
Happy building everyone.

Re: Reefie's LB26
Very interesting photos!

Re: Reefie's LB26
I constructed a jig and laminated up a "bezel" to go around the swim platform.
It is 5 layers of of 9mm marine ply (45mm wide) by 45mm high (essentially 1.75 inches X 1.75 inches).
The infill will be 3 layers of 15mm foam (totalling 45mm thick).
The bezel will provide great protection for an area likely to receive the odd knock or two, and provide a good high density base for attaching the rub rail.
Hoping to get some more glassing done on the bottom plates this week or weekend.
Happy building
