ST21 'Skinnydip' build, and boating adventures, Noosa, Australia
Re: ST21 'Skinnydip' build, and boating adventures, Noosa, Australia
Glad you had an enjoyable 3 months of cruising - the places you've been are beautiful. I've been to AUS twice for work - Sydney and Melbourne. Had a weekend to make it from Melbourne down the coast to see the 12 Apostles - beautiful. Was a very long day...

Thanks pee wee, Jeff, and Rickk.
For the past two weeks I've been spent a couple of hours most days repainting Great Sandy's forward shade blade in situ.
It's come up well, but it was a pita. I should have done it off the boat when I did the aft blade a few years ago.

That looks like a babys rocker after seeing Great Sandy for all these months.

Thanks cape man, Jeff, and Tom.
I'm building Feather Pram's gunwale rubbing strakes and inwales each out of two laminations of 1/6" thick marine ply.
This afternoon I cut and installed the first of the two portside gunwale laminations. Satisfying work.
