You have to get up pretty early in Australia to win this one

This is going to be a long build... Australia is still a contender but concedes the lead is blowing out!Last edited by 65RHDEER; June 16, 2018, 09:37 PM.Tim

when he bought all that oak for the ribs, I figured it was going to be a pretty long build... I am really curious, after seeing this installment, how much of the original boat is going to be left. As he said that the builders follow the spirit of the design, not the actual design - and he's going to follow the letter of the designer - that means that he's building a new boat in the space where the old boat is sitting. Even at this point it's resto-mod because he used a different wood as the keel beam (replacing the oak with purple heart)Doing it all wrong since 1966Comment

I'm guessing at least 90% of the wood is going to be replaced.
It's going to be a beautiful thing when its done.
How far away are you from it SBG, is it tempting to go and check it out in the flesh?
I'm about 9220miles away as the crow flies so I will not get there this weekend!Last edited by 65RHDEER; June 16, 2018, 10:21 PM.Tim

90 miles, give or take a dozen - but it's a solid 4 hours to get there because there's a ferry ride, during this time of year, it could be a lot more because of tourists.... I've been tempted, but right now there's other things a bit more pressingOriginally posted by 65RHDEER View PostDoing it all wrong since 1966Comment

it's pretty sad when someone halfway around the world gets the link up before the guy who's 4 hours away from the publisher
that said, I was in church so I know you're doomed because of this
