    Evening
    I have asked quite a few questions about several boat building procedures eg understanding lamination schedules, scarfing plywood and most likely some more that I have forgotten about. Anyway they were all leading up to me making a start on building this boat which I hope to do in about 3 weeks.Australian Naval Architect Brett Murrie aka RAW designed it for me. I have to give it to him, I set him in my total ignorance of boat design a fairly tall order of what i wanted and he was able to set me straight on a lot of things and ended up giving me exactly what I was after design wise.
    Just some specs- 22ft long, beam 7ft, deadrise 12%,120lt under deck fuel tank,self draing deck, full length wide chines .Designed to comply with the build standards as set out in AS 4132 parts 1&3 I'm still trying to work that one out.
    It's going to be built using the Stitch n Glued method. After looking at it for a while I worked out I should be able to knock it over in about 3 months. But as my wife said with me stopping for beer breaks it will more than likely take me closer to 7 to 12 months she's a very insightfull women.
    Once again thank's again Brett for your'e patience when dealing with me but mate your'e choice of colour's that's another topic in itself.
    Stay Safe
