    Thank you, Michael, Bob (Hexnut) and Richard for the words of encouragement. Keith, I looked into that and it seems that there are alot of pics missing. I will restore the pics as soon as I can. I am happy to be back It was a longer break than I thought, I did find the box wich Keel # 4 was in and pulled it out right away.( I have alot of boxes to go thru) I finished planking the hull and started the fairing (it was nice to get my feet wet again)here are the results. 2 of the pics show's it with the centerboard lowered

    I just found this build log , intresting it seem you made alot of extra work for yourself ,the frames can be opened up from the begining just add the deck clamp and it will keep the hull straight , without twist Take a look at my scratch build log for keels # 3 & 4, it will also show how I did the centerboard box the way Chapelle explains it in his book on boatbuilding. ( I will say I have experience in full size boat construction ) I am just doing it on a smaller scale Best Regards, Pete

    Lokks good Shawn , Great job on the Sails, HAPPY NEW YEAR Best Regards, Pete

    First off HAPPY NEW YEAR, and I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas. Originally I was going to close out this build log with a bunch of comparisons between the Kit and the scratch build, I will say this that the Kit can easily be made to follow the Chapelle drawings. It is mostly in the Fairing of the frames and having the correct transom. The result that I had hoped for was achieved by both my Daughters when they recived the boats my oldest got the Kit build and my youngest Daughter got Keel # 1 her expression is priceless . Here are results

    Hi Daniel, When I started on this project everyone in my family started to take intrest and would come over to see the progress, It just became easy to give them a boat as a gift. I do get to keep Keel # 4 and my wife will have keel # 3 , So I will still have 2 in this house Best Regards, Pete
  17. pete48
    The base Varnishing (3 coats) on Keel # 3 is complete. I am happy with the way the transom turned out Here are the results
