Listen, I love my boat(most days) but because of <insert myriad excuses here> it's just not up to the standards that yours and Trents are, so I will gladly and humbly accept 3rd place, at least until the next one is finished.

There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Ha! Agreed, here is my submission: she got this on a fly she tied over the winter, chaotic fight in 8" of water.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
I keep thinking if your gal and mine ever got together no fish on the planet would be safe. Mine keeps asking to go fishing and I ask her would it be ok if we let the ice melt first
Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
No doubt Fuzz! Maybe one of these years we'll make the overland journey and come back by ferry as some friends have done., Maybe Narfis airplane will be done and "Lost My Mind" will be done and splashed. In the meantime, drill some holes in the ice so your missus can get a quick fix!

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Curious about your build of Iain Oughtred's beautiful all-rounder, Tammie Norrie. How far have you got?
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).
Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
I built the strongback and redrew the transom for 6mm ply with some help from Ian. That's about it, hopefully this winter I'll get some traction on it depending on how many mods I have to make on the FS.glossieblack wrote: ↑Mon Apr 18, 2022 6:27 am Curious about your build of Iain Oughtred's beautiful all-rounder, Tammie Norrie.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
What Jeff isn't telling you all is that the "Blue Sky" has been fished more often and harder in one year than a lot of boats see in a lifetime...and it's holding it's own. Those guys have a "just fish" mentality. If it ain't broke, don't fix it...until it starts snowingListen, I love my boat(most days) but because of <insert myriad excuses here> it's just not up to the standards that yours and Trents are, so I will gladly and humbly accept 3rd place, at least until the next one is finished.
Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
This boat has indeed been absolutely abused since it got splashed. "Ridden hard and put away wet", over and over. It got us on a few snook tonight in ozello.Mojosmantra wrote: ↑Mon Apr 18, 2022 3:40 pmWhat Jeff isn't telling you all is that the "Blue Sky" has been fished more often and harder in one year than a lot of boats see in a lifetime...and it's holding it's own.
