| Cheers SD and that Clog plodder... Hello... It is bloody snowing in Vancouver Canada - a dangerous 4 to 6 inches and the leaves were not sucked off the streets first - going to work will be much fun... Well sorry Jack but I just gotta be me - and you would very certainly make a good politician if say - you were capable of learning the vageries of the people who elected you to a first term... I want to post lyrics for Everyday is Like Sunday by The Smiths but I will refrain... Instead I will post bad pics of my current mental mucking about - and would ask for opinion by SD and Yipster... Keep in mind the scale - it is 14 feet LOA by just 4 feet in beam - 1400 lbs. Disp - with 70 litres of fresh water and perhaps 3 to 500 lbs of movable lead and NO keel / CB / or leeboards - just chine runners like snowboards... See http://www.smallsailboats.co.uk/paradox/building2.htm - my modifications include core construction and thus no listings and such... Since my wife does not know what she is looking at aside from proportion and the hope that this project may just get me out of 'her' house - what do you think - and give it to me straight...  OK - THE SMITHS - Every Day is Like Sunday... Cheers.... SH.  |

| Well, SH, it looks fine for 14ft. Is this the "doghouser" she will send you to? If so, make it bigger...  Looks good to me, though. Steve |

| same as Steve says perfect drawings but the small boat is lacking some style in my eyes, you can do better nothing against a sharpie typo here but on that size i would keep the boat open ( and put up some bars with a canvas later ) yeah, thats not the start, just my reversed thinking ( like whats in the marina ) getting winter but think you miss your boat right? |

| Dog House... Hello... Thanks - do either of you have a simple poseable 3D man that I can use in Rhino - saving me the work - I don't mind my own simple profiles or 'paper dolls' but they do not really show mass and I know I could make my own but I am very lazy... Slid my Toyota into a VW van trying to climb the hill to work - gave up and called into work for the day off - Vancouver is pathetic - very beautiful place to live but no water filtration plants - we are on a boiled water alert - and now it has snowed - and the city has no means of removing snow from the roads - just pathetic... I think I will start expanding panels and build a model of this thing... Will dispose of the fresh water belly tank in favour of more effective and less space robbing fixed lead... Ventilation will be the real trouble - fogged up windows with the hatch shut - I think I will go with Laydens' ideas on same... Obviously this is an absolute minimal cruiser and I lay no claim to it - Matt Layden is the brainchild - I think he is a bit crazy (should talk) - I was looking towards trimarans (The Gecko 14) - but have decided that I prefer the compact and complete package of a monohull - no breakdown for towing... Well thats the I and me show for today... Got to figure out those damn chine runners... Cheers... SH. |

| Ah Hell... Hello.... Sorry Jack... This song reminds me of walking along the beaches in Calais with my wife - I play it when we are both a bit drunk and belligerant with each other - it snaps us back into shape... The lyrics are a bit dodgie but the song against its music is very nice... EVERYDAY IS LIKE SUNDAY by The Smiths Trudging slowly over wet sand Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen This is the coastal town That they forgot to close down Armageddon - come Armageddon! Come, Armageddon! Come! Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and grey Hide on the promenade Etch a postcard : "How I Dearly Wish I Was Not Here" In the seaside town ...that they forgot to bomb Come, Come, Come - nuclear bomb Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and grey Trudging back over pebbles and sand And a strange dust lands on your hands (And on your face...) (On your face ...) (On your face ...) (On your face ...) Everyday is like Sunday "Win Yourself A Cheap Tray" Share some greased tea with me Everyday is silent and grey GHM. Don't come to Vancouver without a 4x4... Cheers.. SH. |
