Thanks! :)


Is it just a camera focal length thing, or is that boat not fitting through the garage door? 8O

Hello,

It is just a camera issue, it is inside the garage right now... :D

I did not pay attention to that detail.

All the best.

A garage door that is wide enough is a wonderful thing. It's shaping up nicely. 8)

Congratulations on getting back to work after the vacation. Now I must assume that you also got the bi axel fabric in place after the tape and before the frames right? It’s just that you didn’t mention that and I wouldn’t want to here you skipped it. :o

Hi Greg,

Thank you Buddy!!!

Yes, I have applied the biaxial fabric after the tape and I think this time I used less resin (tape + biaxial around 1 gal). Is it better? :doh:

I have the frames F and E in place too. I will post some pics this week.

All the best and keep building!!!

Hello Dave,

How are you?

I started working at the lift keel, but due some work and travels, my progress has been too small those last weeks.

But everythings is going very well.

All the best guys!!!

What's up Marcelo?

I’m getting back to work as you probably have seen from the post. Were did you get in the building stage while I was away.

You didn’t splash the boat and start practice runs without letting us know did you? :lol:

Hello Greg,

How are you doing?

I am travelling a lot with my job, then I did not spent much time in the boat. I got the keel laminated, but I saw as lof of comments about the measures, so I need go over those comments to understand what is happening.

I hope everything is going well with you!!!

Pretty soon I will post some progress.

All the best.

Marcelo.

Good to here from you Marcelo. I had a bit of the travel for pay thing too lately and I don’t like it at all. I use to do it all the time but about 3 years ago I swore it off. Never say never I guess. It’s just that with the economy I’ll do what ever it takes to keep the business going.

Anyway as far as the keel is concerned just check your plans and make sure the keel template measures the full size. Measuring using the heavy black line marked as "Final Keel Outline" it should be 14-5/8" x 2" or 375 mm x 50 mm. It seems most everyone else received the correct print so you more than likely have a good set of templates.

Hope you can get back to work on the boat soon.

Greg
