Lovely little craft, but it seems to me to be one plank shy. Your design is what I'd tried to achieve with my many hours of drawing efforts, but couldn't seem to find the sweet lines. In the end I gave up and went smooth hull. Hope you can get to complete yours over winter. Looking forward to seeing her first sailing trials..Denishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14481961349916088990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-12216493882761196552012-10-28T10:41:17.328-07:002012-10-28T10:41:17.328-07:00Denis,

That would simplify construction and it will be much better to have the water draining down the mast flushing out the trunk. <br />As it is, I'll need a good tight mast boot. Not a big problem, but one more thing to fiddle with at the dock during set-up.<br /><br />I look forward to your progress. Your 'seed is much prettier than mine and a joy to behold.dorymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077373149267825091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-25644207227417854872012-10-26T23:53:24.986-07:002012-10-26T23:53:24.986-07:00Just checked the new photos, looking great. My mas... Just checked the new photos, looking great. My mast will run through the forward floatation compartment so I've designed a similar sealed mast box that will drain into the centre case. With the lug sail mast further aft than a Sprit, the mast box, partner and centre case all become one assembly. Had to have a re think on deck camber after discovering I had a major lump at the pointy end, a more modest camber has fixed the issue. The weather here is on the up and if work demands back of a bit I'll be back into my seed. <br /><br />Happy building........Denishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14481961349916088990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-54866255057419165762012-10-26T10:30:11.617-07:002012-10-26T10:30:11.617-07:00Hi Denis!

A big responsibility.<br /><br />The weather has turned nasty here, so I'm moving back to the melonseed project, which is the only project I have that's indoors (if you call a porch indoors). <br />I'm working on the deck framing and it's turning out very nice. I've recently uploaded a few new pictures:<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/26687363@N05/sets/72157628426015787/<br />dorymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077373149267825091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-10589803552582698762012-10-26T03:09:17.334-07:002012-10-26T03:09:17.334-07:00I came close to buying a Tamlaren a few years back...I came close to buying a Tamlaren a few years back, it was close, but decided it was just too much boat for me.

He indeed owns a Beach Pea that he built - there may be no end to his resourcefulness.

We've got a friend on the island with a Shearwater, I know the difference.

Andy was kind enough to take me out during the schooner race and we really flew along.<br /><br />So Michael, is Andy going to tell you the tale of Ted and Alice?<br /><br />-BruceBrucehttp://terrapintales.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
