    Interested in your bush boatbiulding. How did you set up the slipway? Or was she craned into the water?


    Cheers

    Bush building.

    Yes, , it would be confidential as western world would consider this kinda spare yard as malpractice. Although it is a safe way we have been doing in this area since the first metal boat is built. I need to go to tengarong to take the photo again of the bottom part as for my main shipyard in Balikpapan I can include a photo soon.

    They place the ship or boat depend othe design and need with wood roll or stack of expired tyres...... or soft ground , stable enforced with wooden stick combination.

    My main shipyard have 2 lane with winch and a crane. If the ship is big it would take up 2 lane and big crane option can be provided.

    you can see Balikpapan shipyard in my gallery.

    Look like anti aircraft forts set up during the Second world war to defend the entrance to the Thames etc. Armed with a few guns and used to shoot at German aircraft or PT boats as they tried to get up to the East Coast cities to do nasty things!

    either that or they are martians!
