  1. Oh, yes! That really looks the goods, Michael! John
  2. The obvious thing - spray some of each colour onto a board and see which one gabs you! John
  3. I've said it before, Toni. It's not so much how you work, as how you recover from the inevitable disasters that counts in the end. John
  4. Michael, If you're having trouble thinking of where to store your lady when she's finished, you could always ship her out to Sydney! I'll give you the shipping address if you like. John
  5. Michael, Firstly, for heaven's sake put those containers of parts away in a cupboard somewhere before you bump them and knock them off the bench! Go for the dark hull if you want a traditional look and white if you want a yacht. Many traditional working craft in the U.K. had their hulls painted with tar as it was both cheap and a good preservative. John
  6. I don't think the extra angle on those forward stanchions will be really noticeable, Danny (unless the ones on the other side have significantly less). John
  7. Sounds like you had a really great day with the kids, Michael - good on you. Love the picture of your cutter on the beach - just waiting for the tide. John
  8. Thanks Robert! Not skill so much a dogged determination (or is that pig headed stubbornness?) John
  9. A great yacht to build! The original is now housed in the Fremantle Maritime Museum in Western Australia. John
