My little piece of peace

[Frosty]

Mannie there is nothing wrong with you ,--I declare you perfectly sane and especially suitable to touring Thailand.

Kids will be kids, soak up loads of money that could have been spent on fibre glass resin then go and get pregnant or get some one else pregnant and end up working for Mc Donalds.

I carefully stear my ship away from rocks but then Im not a nice man.

I got married once and never will again.

I am one selfish mean SOB and I am here for one reason and one reason only. This is not a rehearsal.

[Manie B]

Frosty i like that Thailand idea

go over there and tear the arse out of it

let my kinky side loose (jump left - remember sorry right




no dont worry i have packed the frankenfurter shit away

i want to try that all night headboard stuff that you were talking about

As The Honourable Sir Frosty said, Perfectly normal behaviour - welcome to a 'mature development' stage in your live - all to often denied of other mere-mortals....

[Manie B]

Okay okay
i have already got tears in my eyes
rather nice to know that i am not completely marbles



aneeeewaaaay

i have been at it AGAIN

Firstly thanks Mas and Tom and Judy for guidance

please have a look and see if you can read the PDF files, and if you hover over the "links" if the little message window works


http://compaxboats.wordpress.com/


Mas this is fun and a very interesting learning curve for an old fart like me,
lots of things to choose from and you can certainly do that "Creative" thing

AND i am ahead of the "brightspark children" for a change
my 18 year old daughter actually passed it for very good



now Mas i need yours to post on my links column

[judy]

Manie, that is brilliant - I'm impressed!

I've added a link on Scrumble Project to your blog and subscribed to your RSS blog feed. So you'd better keep providing updates

The pdf links work, and hovering over the links does cause the description to appear. I like ours!

Just one thing to consider: if you are going to have a lot of photos, you may fill your 3GB quota on Wordpress fairly quickly. In this case I would recommend using another photo hosting site (eg Flickr which is by far the best in my opinion) for your photos. It is an easy process to link to the photos from your Wordpress blog, once you figure it out - even Tom now does it well.

I don't know about you, but I find very annoying the preview window that pops up when you hover over a link in your posts. This is turned on by default in Wordpress. You can disable it by going into your Wordpress Dashboard, selecting Appearance in the left hand side menu, then Extras. Then uncheck the box next to "Enable mShots site previews on this blog" and click the update button.

[Manie B]

Judy you are a star

thanks

Then uncheck the box next to "Enable mShots

done

jeez very cool to get expert guidance

am looking into Flikr

Good Day Manie, Bloody excellent!

Hot Dogs Manie, Is this a career change as well as a life changing thing? Good on you, Now I feel a bit embarrassed with my thing on boatdesign.net - but this place sort of feels like home to me - brain-farts are few and far between.... old age onset issues

Where do you want the link, to the first page or at the newest post? - the newest post is where you go if you click the link at my "signature area" of any post of mine...

Are you going to "commercially" produce boats for the saffa market? - bloody good idea... Neil (who is building his 6th 44C up on the Sunshine Coast Qld.) has done something similar to build the current one for himself - paid for by the other 5 boats he built....

[Sean Herron]

Hello...

Masi - you must post a launch date - plus or minus 6 months...

Nice to see a real build - versus eye candy - now and again...

All the best...

SH.

Wonders of technology somewhere around April 2010?.... - and the suggested "plus or minus..." applies

Yesterdays images, and some of another boats fitting system for solar panels - neat & elegant...

[masalai]

Now, Today I went on an excursion to test the Torqeedo 4.0-R electric outboard and on a largish tri, 925w gave us 3.8knots, 2000w for 4.5knots and 4000w gave about 6knots (adjusted for still water no wind equivalent) pushing an estimated weight nearer to 4,000kg than 3,500kg.... so all in all quite impressive...

The first 2 are what was done today, thence the Torqeedo in position, the veteran sailors discussing stuff after the motoring test and a visitor on the bow...

[Manie B]

The Torqeedo drives are very interesting.
I love the idea of silent motoring, especially early in the morning after a good nights sleep in a remote harbour. I have seen the guys do it with trolling motors here on the dam.

around April 2010?....

have you got the dream team right to the end?
are they also doing the finishings etc.?

Is this a career change

wishfull thinking

Are you going to "commercially" produce boats for the saffa market?

More wishfull thinking

The sad part about it is that our market is so small that for all practical purposes it actually doesn't exist.
However what i am hoping for is to foster "some" interest and with a bit of luck create a "boat building ring" of "backyard boat builders" My assistance where and when possible comes at the handsome price of a "beer and barbeque"
The average guy cant CAD (never mind FreeShip/development and and) so i will gladly help because i do these things kinda easy?/ok? I draw CAD for a hobby -no rendering!
Accuracy saves time and materials.
This has clearly been illustrated by this very thread that we are on " My little piece of peace" - CAD panels is what i preach day and night
Here in the deepest darkest africa if you loft accurately from cad, you can end up with a first class end result.

the newest post is where you go if you click the link at my "signature area" of any post of mine

done





and your build looks gooooood

[Fanie]

SOLAR Panels ! It looked like a radiator to me. It's probably good that it's a solar panel instead of a radiator

Mas, stop moving stuff around and taking the same pictures just from different angles. Come on, it's a once of effort. Finish the little boat now once and for all and get it over wif, will you ?

[masalai]

Oh dear, Fanie,,, blind with jealousy?, they are all different - bog added, torture boarding done, more bog & stuff added more sanding... Man, some things need a bit of curing too... The progress made is as fast as can be made - - gimme a little break will ya? ...
