Couple of marine beanbags. Movable and makeshift flotation.

I’ve been thinking about those. Put them on the bot when the kids are riding, but leave them on the beach when it’s the boys looking for fish.

Adults like them too appaently. More comfy than any bench or chair. Good option. You can get in any size you care to.

One coat of Interlux Bilgecoat from BBC applied over Silver Tip Yacht Primer.

Went on well with a fuzzy nap roller, and will apply at least a 2nd coat.

Cleaner than my kitchen!

Just realized there are very few C19 build threads, you're a pioneer on this design.
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

A handful of C17s, and a few 21s, but you're right, one has to dig a little for pics. I hope she's up there with Tom's and Welleflicker's when she's done.

Taking nothing away from those builds, I have little doubt you'll reset the bar.

Bilge Kote eventually dried. The heavy spots took a few days at 60-65 degrees.

Cut and dry fit the anchor locker floor. Butt joint in the middle with a run of 12oz tape, then worked on some support structure.

Laminated 2 pcs of 12mm together for the struts. White oak for the cleat on the bulk head.
8469

I typically save the beer for the end of the day, but yesterday indulged earlier than usual, and in haste, mis-marked the center of this cleat, and glued it on in the wrong spot. Only off by and inch.. :?

Quick fix with the multi tool on one end, and an "adder" on the other.

Way to own it!

"I cut a board, it was too short. Cut it again, still too short".


Morbid curiousity: is this another drank-too-soon do-over? The glue line looks suspiciously like something that was scabbed back on.

I like the bevel, btw, I skipped it on my bow sole and it cost me a lot of peanut buttet.
