Beam, weight, mast hight, girlfriends cell number, beer fridge capacity... all the usuals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gappy 9 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I thought beer fridge capacity would be at the top of your list of questions Km your standards slipping there Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Nice work. It's is always good watching other people do the hard yards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Saturday Night Special Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Was hard yakka moving 9mm sheets of ply round by my self to get them in place on the scarfs and glued down . looking to be in the tide for around 25k mid next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Ah ha, it's all coming back to me now. Yeap, the camera does seem to be taking a few 100 mm off the beam. I've considered your Specs and agree you're doing the right thing, that is a damn good spot for the beverage container. I have to go down into mine to get to the fridge and closer would be a lot handier for sure, less walking for the crew 25K, that is damn good going, well done indeed. Also a testament to the good old Kiwi back shed give it a crack theory, one that got many NZ yachties both afloat and onto bigger and better things over the years. Good to see you showing it can still be done, contrary to what many seem to think these days. One could say you're a anti-trentsetter, which in today's terms is a damn good thing at times. What the hell is a pre-radial winch? Is that one that's getting ready to go round and round but knot quite grown up enuff to do so, or is it a female one about to go very bad for no reason at all bar the date? Just trying knot to look too much like a lush there Gappy. Probably doomed to fail but hey, why knot have a crack anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Saturday Night Special Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Radial winches are Harkens new thing with a twisted drum instead of knurled and sandblasted drum.with a clip fit to the base so it can all be put on the boat before finaL assembly.

Guest Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Twisted winches on boats full of twisted yachties. Yeap, I can see a good match there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 397 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Very well done ratty, I was convinced that I was looking at the last stiletto to be built, but no, as discussed the camera doesnt quite tell the whole tail. Great to see someone who practises what he preaches and look forward to seeing her sliding around Kawau bay. Re fairing: Did you use peel ply on the final resin / glass? Us rats must keep sailing Kiwi wooden boats just cant abide the styrene/holding tank aroma present down below on so many Benetarias. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Saturday Night Special Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The plan was to use peel ply but the resin had tacked off past what was possible because the poanels are so big and wetting out the 18oz db was a big job for 2 of us it took 18hrs to glass it.
