Kurt Van Dahm will show and explain how to paint waterlines with minimal masking and will provide masking tape tips to help you achieve a flawless waterline. PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED NRG MEMBERS - REPLY TO THE NRG OFFICE by 3-24-2022 – I will attend the March Workshop - with your name and email to nrghomeoffice@gmail.com There is some time before the workshop starts at 10:30 AM Central so everybody can get settled in. Please do not sign in before the start time shown. The workshop will be recorded so we ask all to observe the microphone muting requirements. Unmuted microphones can cause problems for the audience. Sorry, but if your microphone is unmuted and causing a disruption, we will have to drop you out of the meeting – when you rejoin be sure you are muted. Please note that we will ask for attendees to turn off their cameras and their microphones after joining the meeting. The speaker will explain when questions can be asked. When asking a question your microphone can be unmuted but please mute it again after asking your question. Registered members will be sent the required link to the ZOOM meeting on Friday, March 25, 2022. mtaylor and Chuck 2 Quote Kurt Van Dahm Director NAUTICAL RESEARCH GUILD www.thenrg.org SAY NO TO PIRACY.

kurtvd19 Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share #2 Posted March 27, 2022 Thank you to the 135 who showed up yesterday to the Virtual Workshop. Your attendance means a lot to the Guild and the speakers. The many questions during and following the presentations showed you were listening and coming up with well thought out questions. Some of the questions will a help in making some additions of information to address those questions in the future. Very satisfying to the speakers as they showed you were listening attentively.

kurtvd19 Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted March 28, 2022 Yes it will. We post all the Workshops for members. It will take a bit of time as we have one guy who can do the posting and he's real busy with his work right now. We will let members know when it is posted. robert952, bruce d, BobG and 2 others 3 2 Quote Kurt Van Dahm Director NAUTICAL RESEARCH GUILD www.thenrg.org SAY NO TO PIRACY.

kurtvd19 Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share #10 Posted April 22, 2022 We have not done a Workshop on the Half Hull. We are discussing possibly doing one or doing up a frequently asked questions about the kit and posting the FAQs in our resources section - with updates when somebody asks a new question. All the Workshops we have done are available on the website. You must sign in to access them.

JohnLea Posted April 22, 2022 Share #11 Posted April 22, 2022 So I am not an old man who can't find things on the internet. I am just an old man who creates his own reality. I could have sworn there had been one. mtaylor, robert952 and BobG 1 2 Quote The closer you get to Canada, the more things will eat your horses. ~ T.

kurtvd19 Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share #12 Posted April 23, 2022 I am in charge of this program for the NRG and I had to call Toni to see if we had done one after you asked your question.

robert952 Posted April 23, 2022 Share #13 Posted April 23, 2022 John, I always use the Adam Savage (Mythbusters TV show) approach. "I reject your reality and substitute my own." (Like today, I remember I bought some door stops. But it must have been a different reality as I can't find them in this one.)
