Guest Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The backyard plywood built, it's a wonderful site Rat must be happy, can't you tell from that last photo. A case of soggy boatbuilder botty by the looks She's wider than a 930 isn't she? Knot that they can be called much more than partially anorexic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

203 0 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 looking good! Your putting in alot of hard work by the looks of it, Well done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Saturday Night Special Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Well it is time for some more picture updates i also have a tape measure across the boat for those that keep telling me its a very narrow I have now really discovered the impact of the centrecase on the interior volume the cockpit is very big although i think in a boat of this size it is required The cabin has been discarded in favour of a simple Turtle deck arrangement the vee'd bulkhead impacts on the interior volume in the saloon but the benefits of this on hull structure out weigh the loss of room Quote Link to post Share on other sites
