  1. Nervous moments on the router table reducing the Navy Whaler oars by 300mm in length and shaping the new handles. They are nesting nicely now and the new mainsail just arrived all 7.8 sqm of it.
  2. Actually I am thinking it will be a shame to finish her maybe I could do like Lex did with the Haparanda and cut the Morby down the middle and in half grow her a bit now that would keep me occupied .😀
  3. Thanks for that. Francois Vivier designed Morbic 12. I have gone with Carbothane 133LH as a topcoat over Interprotect epoxy primer and the satin finish is a welcome relief from high gloss. Other positives with Carbothane is the recoating time is indefinite and it’s bloody damned hard as😀
  4. Final coat will going on today…
  5. Rebuilt the fire box on the wood burner. Getting it apart was like one of those Chinese puzzle box’s . The one thing I have learned in retirement is a nice snooze paves the way from confusion to success.
  6. Crikey you really do get a lot of choice regarding trim control options for your money😀
  7. Thanks for the recommendation I will contact David.
  8. The Morby is getting close to the end of the build and it is time to order the mainsail. I am looking for a sailmaker anyone got any preferences.
  9. Here's a start... https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/517985/allegations-of-bias-inconsistency-in-olympics-yachting-selections
  10. Thinking about using KiwiGrip on the Morby sole is it possible to refine the finish ie less stipple?
  11. Anybody got a Starling rudder they’re wanting to sell?
  12. Centre board case exhausted my teak stock got one piece left just long enough for the all important tiller.
  13. Well it most certainly “ found a submerged object”so that part of the mission was a success. I note that the crew muster was 75 but the bunk capacity was 66 so some crew must have been on watch.
