LM18

Post by fishgitr »

What's up guys?

I am at it again. I just ordered materials from Reid. I am going to try and have the strong back done tonight.


I have to have this done by late mid June due to a baby on the way that is due July 4th.

I have the same deadline, we can race. I have a slight head start but I took tonight off, should even things out.

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

Fs14ls, jaysen posted the link. I have a little more than a slight head start but I tend to take the longest possible route through any step so you could well still beat me. I also need to wait for warm weather before I can paint, which is about all I have left.

Good looking boat VT Jeff.

Jeff I have definitely missed you guys!

Maybe JM can chime in on this.

1. Since I have been introduced to pressing a 1 piece cap from a mold. Would it be OK to do it for the LM and glue it in place or does it need be done seperate?

2. I was looking at the plans. I only saw straight sheer round chine and low sheer round chine. Is there an option like the FS18 regular sheer and regular chine?
