Propane lockers

Tod Couch built some spectacular propane lockers out of Sappele. This is the same wood we used on the bulwarks.

Awl Grip for all my freinds

We are on the final push, I have lots bits and peices to install now that the paint is done.
Here are some shots of the new paint on the house and deck. I used Chevy white Awl Grip, it has a nice grey blue tint.

Hull paint

Here are a few more pictures of the freshly painted hull.

June/July

I have not posted since May, we have made vi sable progress during that time. In June we removed the bulwarks and and varnished everything off the boat using Awl Spar, every part received eleven coats. During that time all of the electrical work was completed and the mast was wired. We also built new propane lockers and finished prepping the hull for paint. In July the hull was painted Insignia white using Awl craft. The Sheer and boot stripes were painted Jade Mist Green. The sole and hull ceiling were also made, using clear vertical grain fir.

Here are a few more pictures.

Bulwarks come together

Throughout the month of may we have made considerable progress. Tod has been busy fitting all of the vertical posts, after all the bevels were marked the laminated sappelle was pre-drilled and tapered. We dry fit everything first, this allowed Tod to spile for the outside strakes. Once a fair line was achieved we cut the port side first, this then allowed us to use them for the patterns on the starboard side. During this operation the taff rail was also laminated and fit in to place.
