How else do travel junkies afford their habit, but take their house with them?<br /><br />As the winters tend to get rather gloomy here in the Flathead, a long term project sounded great. We toyed with buying and refurbishing an older boat. A 30 year old hull, however, is still a 30 year old hull with it's inherent weaknesses and problems after almost as much financial outlay to repair and update it. Besides the challenge of the building process, and the intimate knowledge of every aspect of our boat was something that <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">appealed</span> to us. The next hurdle was deciding what and where to build.<br /><br />As Richard owns a custom cabinet shop, and has been working with wood for over 30 years, he really wanted to build a modern wooden sailboat, but with traditional appeal. After a lot of research he decided on the strip plank-cold mold method of construction. He wanted to build a vessel large enough to live on, but small enough to be a realistic goal financially and in terms build time. We also wanted a boat that could be easily handled by a couple, with shallow enough draft for poking around remote areas, but designed for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">bluewater</span> and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">passagemaking</span>.<br /><br />The lengthy process of picking plans began....Richard and Jane Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15700351373203437487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3309723376637757280.post-20114323306573331112010-09-29T08:00:00.006-06:002012-02-14T10:25:31.794-07:00Picking the plans<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL5J0WO5jcKB2k19qV_ZYgIfySOsS4d1alpxEsmfJyUGw9XuJUzdI2Q2Y61ipJGF8w-OxOFGE4G1Kf6Dv6AU4iefBvIcdmiFYRLekdiirDLlhpqXV4AlGc2LoRyGrhvaW5Gf1Uhty1D97q/s1600-h/mkiisailplansmall.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 260px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 284px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377300709608579442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL5J0WO5jcKB2k19qV_ZYgIfySOsS4d1alpxEsmfJyUGw9XuJUzdI2Q2Y61ipJGF8w-OxOFGE4G1Kf6Dv6AU4iefBvIcdmiFYRLekdiirDLlhpqXV4AlGc2LoRyGrhvaW5Gf1Uhty1D97q/s320/mkiisailplansmall.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>Deciding on the perfect cruising boat is a crazy endeavour. There are so many options, so many styles of cruising, and of course, so many opinions on what is important in a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">bluewater</span> sailboat.<br /><br /><br />We started with the reality that a cold-molded boat was probably the best choice for a woodworker to build. We were really drawn to classic looking designs, with a beautiful sheer and a moderate amount of bright work. We wanted a boat that would be large enough to live on for extended lengths of time, but small enough to tuck into remote areas of the world. Being self-contained, and capable of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">passagemaking</span> with a crew of two was a priority. We plan on poking around every corner of this vast world, going wherever we find something that is different and interesting. A great dream and a shortlist of demands.....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2OG7UfJebDU0947exauvJ16IEZk6LsconTIvFk-Zyls9rvzgLvUo_k-pnRoIlbOSJoF_GUkjG-wMUVRoSWT2_FlHZJh35yARJwLXll5ZVoGTsLb8venLIYt8K3_413HtMQ1rg99E5fJeM/s1600-h/amkiilayoutsmaller.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 220px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377302261402314658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2OG7UfJebDU0947exauvJ16IEZk6LsconTIvFk-Zyls9rvzgLvUo_k-pnRoIlbOSJoF_GUkjG-wMUVRoSWT2_FlHZJh35yARJwLXll5ZVoGTsLb8venLIYt8K3_413HtMQ1rg99E5fJeM/s320/amkiilayoutsmaller.jpg" /></a><br /><br />As we started our lengthy on-line search for plans we soon realized that support during the building process would be critical. Despite 30 years experience in woodworking, Richard had never built a sailboat, and we wanted a realistic project that could be finished in a several year window.<br /><br /><br /><br />We initially were enchanted by the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Shearwater</span> 39, a very elegant cutter made famous by Cruising Worlds log of the ITHACA. We ordered study plans and grew more and more excited. A very stunning, well thought out boat, by the South African designer, Dudley Dix. We had initially planned to build a boat barn on a piece of commercial property we own a couple of miles from our house/cabinet shop. As the economy turned, we revisited the decision to build a whole new facility, and scaled down the project in terms of build time and utilizing existing available space at the shop. As we have been told by numerous people....the larger the boat, the longer and more expensive the build, and the harder to handle with a crew of two. Hoisting the main up those extra few feet of mast gets harder as we get older, and who wants to need power winches? We started looking under 35'.<br /><br /><br /><br />We were enchanted with double-<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">enders</span>, but never found plans for one to be cold-molded with enough capacity that we could live on. A great amount of research and decision making went into treading the fine line between getting enough draft for seaworthiness and a balanced helm, but having the shoal draft capabilities we desired. We came to the conclusion that a swing centerboard keel would work to our advantage. We decided that the main draw backs to a swing centerboard is the expense in building (a problem for production boats) and the logistics of repair and maintaining them. As with all aspects of the plan, simplicity is the key....especially as we were sure that the details of the project would hold many <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">unforeseen</span> obstacles. On a boat nothing is square!<br /><br /><br /><br />We finally came across plans for the <a href="http://www.smaalders.net/yacht_design/ns29.html"><span style="color:#990000;"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">NorthSea</span> 29</span> </a>drawn by designer <a href="http://www.smaalders.net/yacht_design/Mark%20Smaalders%20Yacht%20Designs.htm"><span style="color:#990000;">Mark <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Smaalders</span></span></a>. It is 29ft length on deck, with a 10'3" beam, and 3'8" draft. The 4800lb lead ballast keel has a swing centerboard that makes the total draft about 6 feet. The displacement is 13500 lbs. It has traditional lines and is drawn as a gaff rig. We are up in the air about whether to opt for the more common Bermudan rig, for ease of sailing, or learn to sail a gaff. It is designed to be built with permanent frames and bulkheads as the form for the strip plank with cold-mold veneer. The swing centerboard is incorporated well into the floor plan. A compact sailboat, but roomy enough for two to live on, having a usable floor plan.<br /><br /><br /><br />One of the main selling points for us was the philosophy and support of Mark, the designer, in all aspects of our decision making and building processes. He has been very patient and gracious during our learning curve. It appears that we have only the second set of plans for the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">NorthSea</span> 29 to be purchased, none have been completed to date. It is such a huge undertaking.<br /><br />We have corresponded with other <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Smaalder</span> design builders, and enjoy their <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">camaraderie</span>, photos of their projects, and the knowledge of those that have gone before. We have not been disappointed with our choice of designer and sailboat.</div>Richard and Jane Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15700351373203437487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3309723376637757280.post-87929220710085826892010-09-28T12:38:00.004-06:002011-01-15T14:28:09.033-07:00Beginning the BuildPrior to starting the project, about 6 months were spent scouring the internet and reading such books as Buehler's Backyard Boat Building, The Laminated Wood Boat Builder, and of course, Gougeon Brothers on Boat Construction. There are so many techniques and many opinions on the best methods for building wood epoxy boats. It is hard for the un-intiated to determine what would be the best procedure and materials to use, and all the available plans seem to use slightly different methods.<br /><br />One of the features we liked about the NorthSea was that the permanent bulkheads were shaped and used as frames for the strip planking. There were also several laminated rib type frames. All of these shapes were plotted from the "off sets" provided in the plans. In order to draw these from the off sets, a little bit of lofting was required.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdP5yYLW8Ok_RKEFmNKw2qPNQ5mDxptWgirZuFXytZNtRvIUxdJE0_RIQ_jAqnceSp9-JMan87DHxysgm20Shedf6pIXZw1OIqe8VxW0uCVHoEm9tBGBB_eZbvvCmF9vsZqS4yQ62Gk6bj/s1600-h/Christmas+%2708+019.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdP5yYLW8Ok_RKEFmNKw2qPNQ5mDxptWgirZuFXytZNtRvIUxdJE0_RIQ_jAqnceSp9-JMan87DHxysgm20Shedf6pIXZw1OIqe8VxW0uCVHoEm9tBGBB_eZbvvCmF9vsZqS4yQ62Gk6bj/s320/Christmas+%2708+019.JPG" /></a><br />In December of 2008, we created a lofting table that flipped down from the wall to save valuable space. It was, of course, Jane's job to do the knee busting work of grid drawing.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPXb6we76gXciEYeD7k-9t-7wArrFIA-eHScnRqPTXMq5n5IXRHFISVQ3b-uNIuQFPlI3zIOYhDQlRCAKrp8k54Kp3W-igiGJqaY5BNWiQxOxe0yRU8xXE2ZgyF4277qFTHrZCFYjk2eVL/s1600-h/Christmas+%2708+033.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPXb6we76gXciEYeD7k-9t-7wArrFIA-eHScnRqPTXMq5n5IXRHFISVQ3b-uNIuQFPlI3zIOYhDQlRCAKrp8k54Kp3W-igiGJqaY5BNWiQxOxe0yRU8xXE2ZgyF4277qFTHrZCFYjk2eVL/s320/Christmas+%2708+033.JPG" /></a><br />The grids were then labelled by the distance above and below the designed water line (DWL), and then to the right or left of center. These points were then used to plot the provided off sets at each station (cross section of the hull). This created the shape of the frame to be laminated or the bulkhead to be cut from marine plywood.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJrXcQmcS2OoPBXmhjLJTz3pFshl7NVcx97cPQJs1XGhcNhyphenhyphengD_xg-WDVBfyp50t1NgzAWopZKBkilN4w-k203o36ITkX2TkziT7Y8G8fvLtOU8g48d5Qjt80Nw0OdqS6Ak0BVTC-rUIsA/s1600-h/Christmas+%2708+037.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJrXcQmcS2OoPBXmhjLJTz3pFshl7NVcx97cPQJs1XGhcNhyphenhyphengD_xg-WDVBfyp50t1NgzAWopZKBkilN4w-k203o36ITkX2TkziT7Y8G8fvLtOU8g48d5Qjt80Nw0OdqS6Ak0BVTC-rUIsA/s320/Christmas+%2708+037.JPG" /></a><br />Here is where we started to see the shape she would eventually take.

This took roughly 100hrs, and the majority of January, 2009. Richard started keeping track of actual hours and what was accomplished on a "Wooden Boat" calender he received for Christmas. This has been very useful since I am writing this after such a long delay.<br /><br />February was taken up with gluing approximately one to two half frames each day, as a large amount of the lofting table was taken up during the clamping and drying.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">In March, it was time to start setting up the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">strongback</span>.

Bracing had to hold these structural pieces in mid air, so some of the braces needed to be redone as parts were added.

The sheer is basically the line of the boat deck as seen from the side. It is incredibly important in the overall look and feel of the boat. A nicely sweeping sheer helps with the look of a classic boat. Mostly all that can be done upside down and in tight quarters is to scale and measure from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">DWL</span> to the sheer and get as much curve to it as a board (the sheer clamp) will bend. The bulkheads and frames were notched to accept the sheer clamp. </div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7_EWLE8Fyh9HkZ5msbYsxVyGhnhsEFFGomRCuCOo2svUSGzSmx3AmheQVlkXIwoXaHUvipCVXv5VKkLiGA7yas3HCqeVjS_1Z_UBfd16J-rPft13yFxroHxqQsn0yNtEpily_dV3CHiRw/s1600-h/NS+29+016.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385891755766706226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7_EWLE8Fyh9HkZ5msbYsxVyGhnhsEFFGomRCuCOo2svUSGzSmx3AmheQVlkXIwoXaHUvipCVXv5VKkLiGA7yas3HCqeVjS_1Z_UBfd16J-rPft13yFxroHxqQsn0yNtEpily_dV3CHiRw/s320/NS+29+016.JPG" /></a><br /></div><div></div><div>The batten running the length of the hull near the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">strongback</span> shows the sheer.</div><div></div><div></div><div>For the next 100 hours Richard got to get very tired of fairing the hull. Fairing is done to bevel and smooth the shape of the frames and bulkheads to flow with the strips that will be epoxied to them. A batten is laid across the frames in a smooth line from stem to stern. All extra wood (high spots) are shaved away with the use of planes or a rasp. This is a very labor intensive and tedious process, but will effect the ease and solidity of the planking. The batten is moved around the hull in different positions, and a fair hull in which planking could be applied in most directions is produced. </div></div></div></div>Richard and Jane Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15700351373203437487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3309723376637757280.post-83190440971164725172010-09-25T07:58:00.003-06:002011-01-15T15:02:01.806-07:00Center Board PlacementAs some of you will know, the boat building project stalled for about 7 weeks after we had a motorcycle accident, late in June. Construction resumed in August and is back on track in a fast and furious way.....life is too short, go cruising!<br /><br />The sheer clamp was fitted and epoxied into the notches cut into the bulkheads and frames, as seen running along the lower edge of the hull.

We had to deal with things that would be inaccessible after the planking was applied. Anything that could be anticipated and easily placed prior to planking removes the need to try and shape things to fit against the inside curve of the hull at a later time.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9ySa161Tx2N4ACmtolIsV8hNFbqgP-_nRfBl2Yh0FmwBcmns4UQUdBP3n57arC2fhl1fbkmcLItZkrGSpWhq3dCXj0bNN5_H1d8wHWZnAJ5sWevSySiOKGmEtt3T2N3bqV4OAlOvZJ5Zx/s1600-h/NS+29+014.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386157389050577314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9ySa161Tx2N4ACmtolIsV8hNFbqgP-_nRfBl2Yh0FmwBcmns4UQUdBP3n57arC2fhl1fbkmcLItZkrGSpWhq3dCXj0bNN5_H1d8wHWZnAJ5sWevSySiOKGmEtt3T2N3bqV4OAlOvZJ5Zx/s320/NS+29+014.JPG" /></a><br />The appropriately sized diesel engine was chosen, and the appropriately sized engine mounts were built.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivbMJFeIWPxVF_0Ay-mRn1S-rxXD2eXDTD1lLY2WFSbyTg-qEIAjvCa0Dyo_cfbjG5GpGSXGl81JMr-mKVN3qHQoNzUn1vE2UdbkeMKqC-SA_K0zUzt_eeMKrDlLrusd3b7rUhAWeMfoij/s1600-h/NS+29+016.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386156146641930674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivbMJFeIWPxVF_0Ay-mRn1S-rxXD2eXDTD1lLY2WFSbyTg-qEIAjvCa0Dyo_cfbjG5GpGSXGl81JMr-mKVN3qHQoNzUn1vE2UdbkeMKqC-SA_K0zUzt_eeMKrDlLrusd3b7rUhAWeMfoij/s320/NS+29+016.JPG" /></a><br />The mounts consist of two skid type mounts sitting above the bottom of the bilge.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ_FV7GztJzb3U6fgzZlkCY4StM3K4ocFJTeZj0C0ECmSddhKPSeZeHG3iNEQOHW3r0C4Bgm_udmtE6d2gSUvtMix7EBDJupXotWKVuC3c1S2lM4zAYaRBciPDV-E4gA_KhoaxM-Jid1Kw/s1600-h/NS+29+017.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386156137984089634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ_FV7GztJzb3U6fgzZlkCY4StM3K4ocFJTeZj0C0ECmSddhKPSeZeHG3iNEQOHW3r0C4Bgm_udmtE6d2gSUvtMix7EBDJupXotWKVuC3c1S2lM4zAYaRBciPDV-E4gA_KhoaxM-Jid1Kw/s320/NS+29+017.JPG" /></a><br />The picture below shows how the centerboard case sits in relation to the bulkhead that forms the back of the galley sink cabinet.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1Iw32a9_fnssre0GASlDEoOzxdE3i6u_Jp-6npQkDvI5UclaaxpF1pz92bMbw7mbZlZy17i9DhlISGWVFkhxacIS98Ca0CZsllVSIoTWrw2pJksDxjBcOHW3mdXnkfSFfj4kEPWGUwvkx/s1600-h/NS+29+015.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386157379106819794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1Iw32a9_fnssre0GASlDEoOzxdE3i6u_Jp-6npQkDvI5UclaaxpF1pz92bMbw7mbZlZy17i9DhlISGWVFkhxacIS98Ca0CZsllVSIoTWrw2pJksDxjBcOHW3mdXnkfSFfj4kEPWGUwvkx/s320/NS+29+015.JPG" /></a><br />The entire interior of the aft <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">lazarette</span> needed to be <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">fiberglassed</span> and epoxied, and the final sanding done to smooth it out, ready for paint.

It is light weight and rot resistant, and thus is desirable for use in wooden boats. The cost of this special lumber was offset by the fact that the waste factor disappeared by ordering it clear and not having to cut around knots, etc as would be the case in a lesser grade or knottier wood.<br /><br />He ripped it to <span style="font-size:130%;">1</span> <span style="font-size:85%;">1/16</span>" width and planed to <span style="font-size:85%;">3/4</span>" thickness (the dimension from inside to outside of hull). The width of the strips was recommended at <span style="font-size:85%;">3/4</span>"-<span style="font-size:130%;">1</span> <span style="font-size:85%;">1/2</span>". It is necessary to keep the strips narrow enough to be able to run each layer of planking the entire length of the boat and have it bend as needed to follow the lines of the hull. The joints are staggered with each layer and epoxy applied to the joint ends.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUDhvAi5YQeOHDSahHI3UQnyCh-qUwUph5Pd8hDJenpcUMarhNlGsacBC35ulyWkgSYy5o8Tv5z-rEgKud_43oo3AJfSZc6n3hd2UnJhfRQfuADtWChK5kTKGmbOSPkPz2RSUbNNxSBIG4/s1600-h/NS+29+010.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386159283096554994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUDhvAi5YQeOHDSahHI3UQnyCh-qUwUph5Pd8hDJenpcUMarhNlGsacBC35ulyWkgSYy5o8Tv5z-rEgKud_43oo3AJfSZc6n3hd2UnJhfRQfuADtWChK5kTKGmbOSPkPz2RSUbNNxSBIG4/s320/NS+29+010.JPG" /></a><br />Epoxy was spread on each long strip and then applied to hull, starting at the sheer.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjLylYIPLGExtSn289hjYgVhvj2EQy54FFr9GravCU6WvDiDUHP8YQZIUZvdlxJ0k6x9uqCsPhCF41tIIHPadipZataHTo2enBBqTOTuGCXfHI6F8WxtdSvEErqMQ8SQ3rLmZmrCmQMaau/s1600-h/NS+29+002.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386160460543188978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjLylYIPLGExtSn289hjYgVhvj2EQy54FFr9GravCU6WvDiDUHP8YQZIUZvdlxJ0k6x9uqCsPhCF41tIIHPadipZataHTo2enBBqTOTuGCXfHI6F8WxtdSvEErqMQ8SQ3rLmZmrCmQMaau/s320/NS+29+002.JPG" /></a><br />Massive numbers of clamps were used.

There were varying opinions on where to start the strip planking. Theoretically, since the entire hull had been faired with a long batten in all directions it seemed easiest to start at the sheer and work "up". Richard decided that applying epoxy to an upward facing surface and pushing down to clamp seemed much easier than working overhead. Each layer was applied stem to stern. The plastic staples were effective in holding the strip to the strip below it.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjleK6lcRrwOWat7IXpcigmKArc-maol9Gmq6Wce2MkIW8E1TsY0UIS1-Hq-G_QP3Yls7t4zIIGiWwv9y7PHmo9PS_Yi1X45uXoZuoQsx5MbJFwRWKl4D6_6cw9chqYAo-CaUhE_8OeVDuC/s1600/NS+29+005.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407059105260522082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjleK6lcRrwOWat7IXpcigmKArc-maol9Gmq6Wce2MkIW8E1TsY0UIS1-Hq-G_QP3Yls7t4zIIGiWwv9y7PHmo9PS_Yi1X45uXoZuoQsx5MbJFwRWKl4D6_6cw9chqYAo-CaUhE_8OeVDuC/s320/NS+29+005.JPG" /></a><br />As the planking progressed it became very difficult to secure the strips across the tight curve of the transom.

It doesn't feel like February. Not much snow in the driveway, and greenish grass poking through the snow piles.<br /><br /><br />Boat builders will use any space available for building their dream. Our situation is no different. Our cabinet shop is the lower floor of the right hand building, with our house over it. The white roll up door to the left is a large two car garage. The two man doors in the middle lead directly into the "boat barn". It runs down the far side of the cabinet shop toward the right, and the bow laps left into the garage. We are hoping that during removal of the hull this spring, for the "big roll", we will not need to remove the wall between the left man door and the garage door.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUpiHXh5XAkanJcxJgyQ1pBvVH8ubg67SPMWnOXWBFo7P02YDSZ7kk58bleSjhxTzuVjywb4wuDJTK4qc4v2ZaalqN2-6BjftWWLAY0DAbXAbfejkm0laHAHh0zRqOWQZHWqUkC7fj-JHi/s1600-h/NS+29+021.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440133193110550114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUpiHXh5XAkanJcxJgyQ1pBvVH8ubg67SPMWnOXWBFo7P02YDSZ7kk58bleSjhxTzuVjywb4wuDJTK4qc4v2ZaalqN2-6BjftWWLAY0DAbXAbfejkm0laHAHh0zRqOWQZHWqUkC7fj-JHi/s320/NS+29+021.JPG" /></a><br />The anxiously awaited <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Mahogany</span> (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Sapele</span></span>) arrived from Specialty Forest Products, and was loaded into the shop to wait for the veneering to begin.

Each batch must be mixed thoroughly but quickly in the cup, and then poured into a flat container to slow down the curing process. If the epoxy stays in the cup too long, it generates its own heat and sets up quickly. By exposing it to the air in a flat container the open window is increased.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEf9G0zp3LcDVDRmEo9ya09I0wKoEoJFAJQQeB7Zb4NvH0s7zo4QeNl4NxcUpSLx6uG5wvtEqwfAU0wRHyDCiefppfbXTD4JjOtlRFZtiigDX6fC9YsijQpMx8LSlqP5FzuUzG2ewx0hmx/s1600-h/NS+29+068.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440123101150760610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEf9G0zp3LcDVDRmEo9ya09I0wKoEoJFAJQQeB7Zb4NvH0s7zo4QeNl4NxcUpSLx6uG5wvtEqwfAU0wRHyDCiefppfbXTD4JjOtlRFZtiigDX6fC9YsijQpMx8LSlqP5FzuUzG2ewx0hmx/s320/NS+29+068.JPG" /></a><br />Richard used two disposable plastic paint roller pans for application by foam roller.

An <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Omer</span> stapler that shoots 19 gauge staples was chosen to keep the thin veneer pressed tight against the hull while drying. Richard used 3/8" long with 1/2" crown (the width) staples from Raptor Nails.<br /></div><div>Richard contacted the Raptor Nail people and after discussion of his purpose and needs, and his concerns about the depth of the set of the crown, they agreed to take back the stapler if it didn't meet his needs. Of course, there was no need to return it. There are several options for maintaining the pressure on the veneer at this stage. One technique is to use much less expensive standard metal staples and remove all of them after the epoxy has cured. Some people shoot them over plastic strapping so that they can be removed with a yank of the strapping. One draw back to this would be the need to consistently straddle the strap. Others have used vacuum bag techniques. Getting the suction to apply easily across the large area of the curved hull, as a one man operation didn't seem too feasible. By using the plastic staples, the crown can be sanded off after the curing process, and the legs of the staples can remain in the hull. The trade off between time and cost, and the cost of your time becomes apparent. For the two layers of veneer on this 30 foot hull we have ultimately gone through about $1200. worth of staples. About 1/3 of each hull side could be done in a day, by Richard alone. He has wrapped the gun in tape in an attempt to keep it somewhat clean. Epoxy gets everywhere!</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK_BPzLG7y7cwcFOog61dMOwgYxy1bi5lV-Pi_8jsRXptv7nrdVX-foPsEhy3oH44Q0NaUrL9XNFcPIq6kVdMGgtk22Pa6Z_ALuhcJyRk35R49h00XyBw-T35dmOqVS6G8CoF5HmYDC3_a/s1600-h/NS+29+024.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440169174620380642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK_BPzLG7y7cwcFOog61dMOwgYxy1bi5lV-Pi_8jsRXptv7nrdVX-foPsEhy3oH44Q0NaUrL9XNFcPIq6kVdMGgtk22Pa6Z_ALuhcJyRk35R49h00XyBw-T35dmOqVS6G8CoF5HmYDC3_a/s320/NS+29+024.JPG" /></a><br />A thin layer of epoxy is rolled or brushed onto the hull where the strip is to be applied tight to it's neighbor. This wets the hull. Then a second layer of epoxy that is thickened with wood flour to the consistency of frosting is applied to help fill any voids between the strip planks or under the veneer.</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjuaeUWNbZLyhQY-GM7ID69JpVdktYGy-wQycPRt10lQu95eAMfhPkkRCR9UV2OyVWjzGdfyK8ELk4nJRv6uJRphcouJgNeqMRVSVC49aGGqsYNkXuB8q8P_xPvWeRaLR48hxycuiRnll5/s1600-h/NS+29+065.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440124765752379554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjuaeUWNbZLyhQY-GM7ID69JpVdktYGy-wQycPRt10lQu95eAMfhPkkRCR9UV2OyVWjzGdfyK8ELk4nJRv6uJRphcouJgNeqMRVSVC49aGGqsYNkXuB8q8P_xPvWeRaLR48hxycuiRnll5/s320/NS+29+065.JPG" /></a></div><div>The underside of the strip is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">wetted</span> with thin epoxy.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-19mC41J10PAPbxHICcE9Xlb_jLOfOyg9NXNqljUt_5AmaakeH8KWhtV2-irdkgp4y523zjeTS4WjdBgRdz2RSg_dtTjvMdGydWi8eNbTY9EOYdC_bEY6JL5qj8ldUaM3-s9K_oxBEZSK/s1600-h/NS+29+045.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440128123290168626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-19mC41J10PAPbxHICcE9Xlb_jLOfOyg9NXNqljUt_5AmaakeH8KWhtV2-irdkgp4y523zjeTS4WjdBgRdz2RSg_dtTjvMdGydWi8eNbTY9EOYdC_bEY6JL5qj8ldUaM3-s9K_oxBEZSK/s320/NS+29+045.JPG" /></a> </div><div>A few staples hold it in the marked location, then the stapling really begins.

The stem is the front edge of the boat, as seen above. A piece of the veneer was screwed directly to the existing inner stem, and left to hang over on the right and left, to create a jig for the gluing and clamping.

The rather monotonous planking, veneering, and fairing will soon be a thing of the past. He can see why this is the apprentice's job in the boat shop.<br /><br />The outer stem that had been previously bent to shape was readied for application.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbv4Q5D1kjLOHpFEsWk2loCZ9lgbtpA5XyoVPqW5bLPxNEv-qyS3SnWMJS4jUVWGnFFDdp9Gw9SgzEZP7hMW9zCRA0gnxZNbjVgU2lJTgVFnXPqvpSaAxo47JvjA4iZeZjBVpbERtn9WLZ/s1600/NS+29+019.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465705923676348418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbv4Q5D1kjLOHpFEsWk2loCZ9lgbtpA5XyoVPqW5bLPxNEv-qyS3SnWMJS4jUVWGnFFDdp9Gw9SgzEZP7hMW9zCRA0gnxZNbjVgU2lJTgVFnXPqvpSaAxo47JvjA4iZeZjBVpbERtn9WLZ/s320/NS+29+019.JPG" /></a><br />The ends of the strip planking are visible at the bow, under the veneer layers, prior to the outer stem being epoxied in place.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTIeKJqhEZMbw-DcPJkKaG7YA9N94pS3BhHUnf1NLtt_4-1XEfcGLSV07hfegopo8HMw7LZonZ9CAEQSDwzMp6J3awkp42jRLp9k-8xcEuiF0e-c4cWw_rfezuEpB3fIBIEpOOZrGjfQ5t/s1600/NS+29+022.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465705932145040354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTIeKJqhEZMbw-DcPJkKaG7YA9N94pS3BhHUnf1NLtt_4-1XEfcGLSV07hfegopo8HMw7LZonZ9CAEQSDwzMp6J3awkp42jRLp9k-8xcEuiF0e-c4cWw_rfezuEpB3fIBIEpOOZrGjfQ5t/s320/NS+29+022.JPG" /></a><br />There was quite a bit of head scratching while trying to figure out how the outer stem should be shaped and how the fairing of the stem would ultimately flow into the keel. We searched on-line for pictures of the bows from traditional boats. Unfortunately, there are very few frontal pics of the bow up near the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">sprit</span>, since a boat generally needs to be on-the-hard to get that view. We even took a "field trip" down to local sailboat yard. Of course, most modern glass boats don't even have an obvious outer stem, but we did get a few ideas.<br /><div></div><br /><div>We decided that a large <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">chamfer</span> on each side should roll into a traditional cove shape at the top, giving some meat to the squared off area under the future bow <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">sprit</span>. As Richard started the shaping, he realized that the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">chamfer</span> was actually a continuation of the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">faired</span> hull, thus as he brought the line of the hull forward, the leading edge of the outer stem worked out to be exactly as wide as <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">spec'd</span> in the plans. All that head scratching for nothing! The coves were shaped free hand and the proportions turned out very sweet in my opinion.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLz_mZ-iebmLRY_XJuJbl6eA2g3xehqKhjBXLMGLlRymip-SmoPRNUcfaPw9GJcEu3NLUa7uaknw3MRg9aINfDE_P2Hkqvd-Vo-jMXn8_8mvb5c6Wk-51sHKYT5SXMDP9HUTkUqw4agTfN/s1600/NorthSea+29+119.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467813949045439234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLz_mZ-iebmLRY_XJuJbl6eA2g3xehqKhjBXLMGLlRymip-SmoPRNUcfaPw9GJcEu3NLUa7uaknw3MRg9aINfDE_P2Hkqvd-Vo-jMXn8_8mvb5c6Wk-51sHKYT5SXMDP9HUTkUqw4agTfN/s320/NorthSea+29+119.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div><div></div><div>The fairing continued......this time, this final fairing must be as perfect as possible, to prevent dips and ridges in the final smooth "glass" finish of the hull.

This aspect of the build had always been rather theoretical. The hull was rigid enough at this point that Richard had placed large casters under the previously floor-mounted strong back. There was no risk of torquing the hull out of shape now, so we figured we would give it a try. We both had secretly worried that there would be some wall removal involved in her extrication.</div><div></div><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3J-4bHUdzR2IE4YVxB4oYluFzUyULEoxr3Xqy37gQU2MRbTRVlmnBCuECGRUujYyrH2xIj-qhrXARgGerZYxPcl7CsqkECuChok6wJHzWTypaSWZKQ0phyM6abuy9M1A66LmxMX7eOTzO/s1600/NS+29+029.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px;

It seemed that completing the rear deadwood and glassing the hull seemed to be the only projects left. But then, there was the design and build of the rolling cradle, the need for a new lower strongback on wheels and even the building of the blank for casting the lead keel.<br /><br /><br />The rear deadwood was laminated up and held in place with silica bronze ring shank nails while the epoxy was drying. There was no place to get grip for clamping, and each piece needed to be layered on the one below it since there would be no secure way to attach a preformed deadwood on to the hull.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWoV5bPMuTx2ilsI03kolhU_1oIbI5cqkFw0mrOvRCxNRjAPvmjOJMHNbYsZAYqBsc5h1OIT1pVPAY7_BErRtdLJRldTc0t5Gy7iYzJOIVgKrzi8wVS_0ltUUQwDJemn0W9T1ufjbaUtkw/s1600/NorthSea+29+099.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px;

It turned out to be a very productive boat building time. An <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">anticipated</span> date for the "Hull Rolling Party" was calculated and then a couple weeks were added as a buffer to make sure all the work could be accomplished prior to her big day. Although the hull shape was complete, there was plenty of work to complete prior to righting her.

There are no flat sides to the form, all aspects are slightly curved,and we will rely on the foundry to figure out how to make the pour actually happen. Usually these keels are poured into sand forms, but 12' is the usual length. Finding a custom foundry, transporting the blank to the foundry and then transporting the 5000 lb ballast keel home will be another part of the story, I am sure.<br /></div><div>Prior to rolling, the hull needed "glassing" and a primer coat applied to protect the epoxy from any <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">denigration</span> due to UV exposure during her remaining years until completion. Epoxy is sensitive to UV light, and is the reason a wooden hull is usually not left "bright", with the wood showing. Varnish or another protective coating would need to be applied, and would result in the expense of the boat needing to hauled each year for additional varnishing. Hull paints are much more durable and thus a wooden hull is almost always hidden under protective paint.</div><div> </div><div><span class="blsp-spelling-error">Xynole</span> was the fabric chosen to accompany the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">RAKA</span> epoxy to create the waterproof and highly abrasion resistant outer shell.</div><div> </div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhcJBRXGdy94CMTM_zKvnZ918zVQhgCfBMvvXHR1zh3rj5Ybg1h7w-acRWWZ6d4tdMRJ05xmv-o58HKN6s7SMpsPF_dwi8oKmlW1ZwySA6kphqWmlarEoP0gyYdCfPGsiwKRrO36sLSQrb/s1600/NS+29+031.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523916656829861170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhcJBRXGdy94CMTM_zKvnZ918zVQhgCfBMvvXHR1zh3rj5Ybg1h7w-acRWWZ6d4tdMRJ05xmv-o58HKN6s7SMpsPF_dwi8oKmlW1ZwySA6kphqWmlarEoP0gyYdCfPGsiwKRrO36sLSQrb/s320/NS+29+031.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Since the hull could not be covered entirely from sheer to keel with 60" wide piece, lots of thought was put into how to create the perfect seam between the pieces.

Two coats of System 3 two part water based linear polyurethane sealer were rolled on. This was easily sandable within the first 24-48 hrs to form a hard smooth substrate for later paint jobs. The deadwood has not been finished as final shaping for the prop appeture and shaping for water flow over the transom hung rudder will be done while sitting on a stool, after rolling. </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Richard and Jane Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15700351373203437487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3309723376637757280.post-50239708538335205882010-09-14T17:36:00.001-06:002011-01-15T09:50:03.475-07:00Rolling the HullThe day for our big Hull Roll Party was set for mid June. It was a landmark we wanted to share with friends and anyone else interested in the project.<br /><br />Once the date was set, Richard needed to complete his plans for the logistics of this roll, as well as get all the remaining work done that needed to be completed prior to rolling. He looked everywhere for ideas on how to safely roll her 2000 lb body. He decided to use a crane to suspend her while ropes and pulleys pulled her around. The weight and shape were not equal front to back, and the thought of her slipping from straps was devastating.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLN6G2fFTP5zht7DBlAlhw2ZSaavszqudRIxwjWf5UoRdKH8igKtRlKoCc80NUpEuLWn_lm64RGMBzWWqp8nyuJX_unvlNgOrhFBu-xpa9f6CU4sysiSIVmum31jIG3iBp0xREAUrBB5Hq/s1600/NS+29+013.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532180939311249186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLN6G2fFTP5zht7DBlAlhw2ZSaavszqudRIxwjWf5UoRdKH8igKtRlKoCc80NUpEuLWn_lm64RGMBzWWqp8nyuJX_unvlNgOrhFBu-xpa9f6CU4sysiSIVmum31jIG3iBp0xREAUrBB5Hq/s320/NS+29+013.JPG" /></a><br />Even before glassing the hull, Richard started building a custom frame. He decided that for best control, in the driveway area we had available, the roll needed to happen in stages. First she would be positioned on her side, then to a diagonal, then onto her keel.

The cradle had to lowered (rebuilt) and the stem trimmed so that she would clear the top of the door on her way back through the garage door. Theoretically at least.....one never knows how well this will work until the big day, and everyone is watching. There was a short episode of cold feet regarding having an audience for the whole episode. But a party was called for....and people were invited.<br /><br />The last projects needing to be completed prior to the roll were done. The hull was glassed and primed as seen in the earlier postings. The shaping of the deadwood near the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">propeller</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">aperture</span> and directly in front of the rudder was left incomplete, not glassed or primed. It seemed that sitting on a stool to do the shaping while the hull was upright would be easier than hanging off scaffolding.<br /><br />We were very honored to have Mark <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Smaalders</span>, her designer and a great guy, that has subsequently become a friend, join us for the weekend of the roll. Dark hair, beard and red shirt.<br /><br />Richard assembled a crew of friends with a variety of skills and expertise in everything from construction, timber framing, boat building, cruising, and just plain mucking about with boats.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvAOYS6oyxekqL5uDAHsgw_3A5WVw0TrwyQ5nTiWKFOpOsxF9h984VRcyeON4b7CFhwlg4uuc5zoLifGqWq30RmXbEC_3WWqAwBtewlA8QkgYOSBfB_0Y1fEJKSXR_H7CJ3HePnYP2FPOp/s1600/NS29+012.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px;

With meticulous records Richard has totalled 2693 hours. He originally calculated 5 to 6 thousand hours to completion....about the half way point?<br />By subtracting out the 13 weeks lost to building due to injuries and other obligations, but not removing other short times off to see the kids, travel to boat festivals, etc he has averaged 30 hours per week on the boat. Sometimes he works as much as 60 hours per week, especially at times like preparing for the boat rolling.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgab1vKve5AxH5EyhzDoo477nurP-iRBKDZYc8qdlnGbhjHxnyQNuQGl9YgqWZg9BhKFrUAnGCkZJr5poNxJ-8_MeWFpf6P3VAne1gO2A5d7GX7H6epC_qdL9L6N6e6GQM6qgxqrtadd1iL/s1600/Boat+and+Jills+Dec+2010+035.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561873673653710562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgab1vKve5AxH5EyhzDoo477nurP-iRBKDZYc8qdlnGbhjHxnyQNuQGl9YgqWZg9BhKFrUAnGCkZJr5poNxJ-8_MeWFpf6P3VAne1gO2A5d7GX7H6epC_qdL9L6N6e6GQM6qgxqrtadd1iL/s320/Boat+and+Jills+Dec+2010+035.JPG" /></a><br /><br />View of the saloon bulkhead that will be raised to cabin height.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhblTG60A93rZDOd7LLjMXRMbKxPa424R8jPZfwZhZsNKxv1JD6Yv5V1IdoLbKT0GaN9KHt8BkIGNfHMDwMzo_osAseJJlf4R05KDYtbuKeDROmylj1AwrIGbxKaCL_MAt5a0I-7f10-OKc/s1600/Boat+and+Jills+Dec+2010+037.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561873651731469650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhblTG60A93rZDOd7LLjMXRMbKxPa424R8jPZfwZhZsNKxv1JD6Yv5V1IdoLbKT0GaN9KHt8BkIGNfHMDwMzo_osAseJJlf4R05KDYtbuKeDROmylj1AwrIGbxKaCL_MAt5a0I-7f10-OKc/s320/Boat+and+Jills+Dec+2010+037.JPG" /></a><br />Glassed in subfloor over the integral water tanks.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVXyQWR29uO81rbS0iblKrAbTF-BNDdUGZOaAuKSGJulWo6b5DARr0owRX4FvgzIpxJOTIIqOaRSt88icXRglHCUJbGP3mcoOCRdNniRnUwlMq5dKJ_goH2nlqKnM3NDgrgdEXGrhfqd9X/s1600/Boat+and+Jills+Dec+2010+033.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561873643138518514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVXyQWR29uO81rbS0iblKrAbTF-BNDdUGZOaAuKSGJulWo6b5DARr0owRX4FvgzIpxJOTIIqOaRSt88icXRglHCUJbGP3mcoOCRdNniRnUwlMq5dKJ_goH2nlqKnM3NDgrgdEXGrhfqd9X/s320/Boat+and+Jills+Dec+2010+033.JPG" /></a><br />Glassed and sanded main bilge area with the engine compartment visible in front of picture.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSkcXyR2WhhPbgfjbfezS3kSCKbOR9s5qKeObBPKNwmhoGVzWtSFX0oFv2m_v9bBtfl_8mu1d0eJvEETuveuIhbLfGjyJ41aoZAu38eqwY3XBr7NjqrIuVrbxobACOM4Od1sblq8UM7bZa/s1600/Boat+and+Jills+Dec+2010+027.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561871985134120722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSkcXyR2WhhPbgfjbfezS3kSCKbOR9s5qKeObBPKNwmhoGVzWtSFX0oFv2m_v9bBtfl_8mu1d0eJvEETuveuIhbLfGjyJ41aoZAu38eqwY3XBr7NjqrIuVrbxobACOM4Od1sblq8UM7bZa/s320/Boat+and+Jills+Dec+2010+027.JPG" /></a><br />Support framing for the deck and the back lazarette was created at the transom.
