Sea Sled madness. It’s in my brain.

Do you have the issue of boatbuilder with the seasled article?

 

Professional Boatbuilder Magazine? Yes, Bajansailor sent me the pdf. It was very thoughtful of him.

 

I read that as 'sealed article', wondering what naughtiness could possibly be concealed within ! Obviously a deep psychological matter.

 

Lol! Yes, many weighty secrets contained within.

 

One of 4 chines closed.

 

It's like you're a carpenter or something.
Nice progress.
Gotta love the weather! (It's a local thing.)

 

Sometimes power tools are called for.

 

Last plank.

 

Slowly but surely... she's getting there.
Great Effort John

 

Thanks John!

 

It's an interesting project, and compared to a mind-boggling build of a power cat by a fella in Rotorua NZ, a few years ago, is a masterpiece of fabrication, you really should see if you can find it in the archives here, it looked like it would explode into a shower of debris the first decent wave it hit, but it confounded me !

 

This is what I was alluding to, above.

Thanks Mr Efficiency. That was an interesting read. That guy sure as hell had some stick-to-it. 5 years is a long time to spend on a bad idea.

But I understand the impulse. You get too invested. At the beginning I never would have guessed he'd get it on the plane at all. As you say, confounded me too.

 

Looking at my last picture: that is a tight squeeze. I may have the record for largest boat in smallest shop.

 

Kinda nice to be able to brace I would think.
Like in a snug galley... without the rough seas!
But I hate not enough elbow room.
It's a mad, no, a fine balance.
Last plank, wow, that's an accomplishment.
