I always thought the profile drawing of the keel looked bad, but in the round it looks fine. Or maybe it's just your great skill. Bob

Looking good Ben. Bob

Really looking good, your attention to detail is amazing. Bob

You may have been late with the cat-heads but you made it fit very well. Bob

I like the frame wood. I think I'll stick around to see what else you have to teach us. Bob

It's a lovely start. This should be fun to watch. I'm with Patrick, I don't build RC anymore. I have to get my thrills from watching. Bob

Igor, all winches seem to big to me and then they get stuffed way up in the bow where there is no room to get around then. Careful, Dimitris. If they build the lifeboats you might get them back in a bottle and can't get them out. Bob

New methods is how we learn, and if it is better then the last, that's when others pick it up and say, "Isn't this great?" Bob

That's why we use primer, to show us that what we thought was good, wasn't. Bob

Here I am just waking up and you're half finished. Nice deck. Bob

I see what you are doing, I understand what you are doing and all I can say is "WOW". Bob

We're all interested in this build. You have quite an engineering task going and you're doing a fine job of it. We are anxious to see the final design working in the water. Bob

I was going to relax but this build will be too exciting for the rocking chair and foot stool. Bob
-
That's beautiful. Those are the kind of plans we all wish we had. Now all you need is a lot of matchstick lumber. Bob

She's a lovely little boat and you've done a fine job on the lap-strake. Bob
-
Fantastic finish, It would make Joshua Slocum proud. The RS1 is a nice boat and a good choice. Bob

Jond, I did not know that about the schooners, But when coming about, as you turn farther into the wind the sails quit pushing and you start coasting. The drag of the water on the hull and the drag of the wind on the sails slow you down. If you do not have enough speed prior to coming about you will lose too much momentum for the bow to pass the point of the wind and push you on over to the other tack. Bob

We always coated the hull and deck with epoxy resin even if we did mot use the glass fibers. You can't beat it for water proofing. Bob
