Sintes 21 Rebuild

[Eric1]

I rinsed my build yesterday. I had to get the dust off, that stuff gets everywhere.
Your looking good Fuzz!

Looking good, taking notes from this build so I can apply them to mine. I appreciate the detail on materials and methods for stringer and transom repair.

Sure looks good after the clean.

Thanks guys If nothing else it is much nicer to work in a clean area.

So today I got the two other stringers set in place. Just the first round of tabbing done. After it goes off I will add more glass.

And I am done glassing inside the bracket.............maybe. I might get told to bring braces up from the stringers to the top of the bracket Thinking of you here Capeman. There is three or more layers of 17oz biax on everything. If anyone is interested between adding the extra skin thickness and what not I have close to 7 gallons of epoxy in this transom rebuild so far.

Thinking about the new gunwales. If they are supported every 18 inches how thick of plywood is needed? 1/4, 3/8 or 1/2

Fuzz, For what it's worth my C21 plans call for 1/4".

All my side decks and foredeck are 1/4 ". All backing plates for cleats and rod holders are 1/2" . I did not make individual backing plates
for each rod holder i made long sections . So the back 8 feet of the deck is 3/4 " thick .

Hey Topwater, what thickness material are the sides and roof on your boat made of?
And you too Eric if it is on your plans.
Heck you two might be up and on the forum before I go to bed if yesterday means anything
Thanks guys

Hey Buddy,

The sides on my C21 are 1/4", Two layers of biax outside one inside up to the trim line. The design overlaps two side panels, I believe this yields a good bit of extra strength. You really have to build one of Jacques designs to see what he has put into them. I was clueless in the beginning but now I can see why he has designed the build the way he has.

Fuzz my pilot house sides , cabin sides and roof are 3/8". The pilot house top is 5/8 " divinycell foam with one layer of
12 oz biaxe each side.
