Hi all,
I have started building Ad16 and I am absolutely loving it.
I have placed some images in the builders Galleries. Don't know how to place them here
The forum site has been a great help to me, many thanks to all that posted info on Adelie 16 and adelie 14

Glad to see another one under construction my father came from Down Under the town of Mackay was named after my grandfather still have a lot of relitives down there
Re: Adelie16 from a land down under
Nice looking work Sam. I enjoy seeing pics of the build process and you are off to a good start. (I see some interesting mods) Love it. Oh, and I think you should start this boat's thread again under builder's progress. Way to go! Btw if you haven't installed "D" frame yet we should have a discussion about the AD cockpit.

Re: Adelie16 from a land down under
I have been using a free Photobucket app recommended by someone on this site. You might try a search to see what others do. Please, work out a way because I would enjoy seeing how your boat is coming along.
Re: Adelie16 from a land down under
I will give that a go. If you want to see them before I sort this out they are in My albums "Salvatore / AD16 from a land down under"

Re: Adelie16 from a land down under
Really nice looking work Salvatore. I see high quality materials and a high quality hull. I see some mods I'd love to hear about. You've brought the bow to a "point". Is that another frame in front of "A" frame? No 1/4 berths/nice under seat storage? Cockpit seat backs? Very cool.
Re: Adelie16 from a land down under
bringing the bow to a point was easy, i added a few inches to the top end of the side panels before I had cut them out. The extra frame is to support a short proper bowsprit for a jib, I am not interested in spinnakers so I am not doing the plastic pipe that comes out at an angle. The centerboard case is squared off so I can place a small SS winch on it to lift the centerboard. The lower cockpit seat is because I stand 5ft 3" and the normal planned seats would be uncomfortable for me and I don't need the under seat sleeping places. The back rest idea I stole from "Arizona builder" from his AD16.
