Frame cleats are installed and Leveled! :D
I was surprised how much goes into to this. The back of my legs are sore from all the time I've not been
working in the boat. :lol:

I had to stop for the day. We had one of our machines sell today and I had to prep it for the riggers Monday.

Great to see you back on the boat. I found your thread one morning and read all 200&something pages in 1 day. Almost cried at the end of the day when i saw it may go to someone else unfinished.

Hi Eric,

I felt I need to say something to you,
I never build a boat in my life, but I will someday. Your build is a great inspiration and how-to to me.
I'll start to build a CX21 1:5 model this winter.

I just want you to know there are more people then you think who like your build and hope you finish her.

Sometimes life is hard, I know. But there will always be new lights and wonders that's for sure!

Eric, you are very strong, that's what I've read in your tread.
Someday my best man, your dream will come tru.

Daniel

Thank you Daniel.
I never thought my build thread would inspire. I hoped it would just document the journey as others could avoid my errors. :)
You are correct about moving forward though. Life has to be lived like a river. Rivers never flow backwards. I like the river, will move forward no matter the obstacles and in time I shall reach my destination.

I hope you enjoy your build. You will learn a lot about yourself as you go along.
All the best,
Eric
