Jeffs FS14 LS
Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
That's slick! I like it. I had aspirations of something similar. Little blend of new with old.

Front view of the non skid mask. I'm not thrilled with the shape near the bow but it's going to be under a TM mounting plate.
This boat is going into service for july 4th weekend come hell or low water(Lake Ontario is quite low atm) so I'm forging ahead and living with some imperfections, like the symmetry issue with this mask on the front deck.
I got the dash about done and mounted to the console, will be quick to wire once the console is installed.
Got the seat cushion remade and the backrest made, getting these installed in the console over the next day or two.

There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Man you're really moving on her now!
I like the anti-skid layout, that's tough to do well, I think.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
I watched a time lapse video on FB recently of a guy doing this on a large sail boat, and thought, damn that’s a lot of work. Has to be a challenge.cracked_ribs wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 2:15 pm

Definitely in site of the finish line, and she’s looking great, but hurry up! Clock is tickin’!
Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
I'm glad I didn't see that video or I may have changed my mind and just covered the entire deck without taping. I've seen that done here and it's not a bad way to go.Dan_Smullen wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 5:58 pmI watched a time lapse video on FB recently of a guy doing this on a large sail boat, and thought, damn that’s a lot of work.

Thanks for noting the ticking clock, I had forgotten for 3.5 seconds. Before I started boatbuilding, a month would be about the longest I would expect any project to take. With this, a month is barely enough time for the last minute stuff!

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Looking wonderful Jeff. The final sprint always seems to take a lot of time but the to do list is getting near the end for you. Really looking forward to seeing you on the water with your family and sporting a big smile. Keep the momentum rolling!
