ImOnA Boat Project (the new GDT)

Recommended Posts

Last year "The Lonely Islands" released a song called "Im On A Boat" hence the nickname of our project...

 

Main hull is complete, faired and primed, and rolled over ready to sand and glass inside. It looks a bit funny because we have to chop the freeboard down to just above the blue primer on the outside.

A big team of thirsty onlookers plus one worker in overalls and what looks like one more in a dust mask. A pretty normal project then. :roll:

here is the you tube link to the 'im on a boat' music video, I reckon its fu*ken funny.

 

I arrived late (as usual...) and missed the flipping over of the hull but made it in time for the beer and chips.....

its looking good and a surprising amount of volume.

strip planked foam up to the 100mm step then ply from there upwards.

 

Both sides are fitted, glassed faired and primed on the outside. If you look at the bow and stern you can see the ply topsides on the side closer to the camera.

can you post a pic of your new 7.5m tri? Did you flip it in the weekend or have I overtaken you in the main hull build? :)

Nah, painted Saturday, sailed Sunday. I'm planning to turn it this Sunday weather permitting.

I'm guessing the 2 boats aren't the same design. Anyone want to give a quick difference breakdown to a single hull driver but very interested observer?

 

Quite impressed with what looks to be a large amount of inside space in Samin's new beasty. That step/chine dodacky makes one hell of a difference.

 

Nice work team.

Anytime mate. Still a way to go yet.
