Based on your previous work and attention to detail I'm confident that whatever you do will be top notch. Didn't mean to be a naysayer on the cradle approach vs. trailer in your other post.
You will make the best choice for your situation and it will set the bar for all of us to try and emulate. Keep up the fabulous work!

Re: Eric's C21
Thanks and I asked for thoughts and opinions on the trailer idea. I have not decided yet. If I go trailer it will have multiple bunks. I don't mind a different view from anyone. In the end I'll decide what I think works best for me. Thanks again for the compliments.Browndog wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2017 7:40 pm Based on your previous work and attention to detail I'm confident that whatever you do will be top notch.

You'll spend more time building with the hull right way up than you have to date. IMO, from here on, the more of the build you can do from outside the boat, the easier it will be. I'd make choices on trailer vs cradle etc, based on this.
To date I've built Skinnydip mostly from the outside, and I don't see that changing.

Currently building Jacques Mertens ST21 "Skinnydip". Boating adventures: Splash testing and using 'Skinnydip, as a basis of further building refinement; Adams 44’ sailing sloop "Great Sandy" (cruising and maintaining); Iain Oughtred Feather Pram "Mini Dip" (building); Jacques Mertens R13 "Wood Duck" (built and due for maintenance).

How I spent my morning.
This is five 6 ounce batches with 2 ounces of graphite per batch.
Other side
Close up
Pulled tape, It was clean.
In the morning I'll strike the next waterline an secure the tape for wet sanding. It won't take much as the test board I did was not this smooth and require very little sanding. This should take even less.

I think most guys would look at results like that and do a little dance, say good enough and carry on. That looks great, glad it went well for you.
