Here’s what’s going on:
- The dory progresses:
- Got out the transom
- Ready to glue in both the stem and transom SOON!
- (Note the ever-present cheap underlayment, -now being used as battens)
- That old utility launch…
- I just couldn’t get rid of it. I was going to junk it since it was a prototype built of the cheapest materials, but my wife argued against it. My wife! How can I argue w/ her about a decision like this? 🙂
- So, it’s going to become a trimaran. Yep. A power trimaran for starters. -And then it might even grow a few sails…
- Those hulls came from CraigsList. I figure it saved me a couple of months of (the usual part time, SLOW, design/build process…) work
- The dinghy delaminates…
- Well, not really, but the outer, thin layer of the floor underlayment that I used, is coming off on the inside of the boat (where the top edge at the sheer wasn’t enclosed by sheer clamp, -which is on the OUTSIDE of the boat…)
- All the literature says don’t use that stuff… Well, my wallet says otherwise. So now I’ve got to fix it and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
- Ok, next time I’ll still go w/ the cheap stuff, but I’ll try to avoid the thin outer layer (like paper thin)…
