I have originals for an 18SF which I plan to recreate with a template bit. Will probably modify a bit and fill in the voids. Had planned on 3/4 Starboard, not that I don’t love teak. Happy to add it...

Thank you. Two coats after the Softsand went down. Color was trial and error. Went 1:1 on first then 14:1 on second. Split the difference and I’m pretty happy with the contrast.

That’s a tough spot to go down. Have a friend that keeps his GW in Eel Pond at the other end of Woods Hole. See if he heard anything. All of us “preservationists” are protective of the fleet. Let us...

Elton John/Bernie Taupin

Good luck and keep the pictures coming.

We know it’s there. That was my first thought as I was scrolling up. Flanges to underside of deck and stringer cuts are too nice to cover. I’ll be disappointed if I ever buy anything new.

Thanks for the link NoBones. Ed gave me a phone number about a year or two back and I spoke to someone there. It sounded easy enough to pull the trigger but my rebuild costs were piling up at the...

Nicely done on every level. It’s been great to watch you work through the details on all the mock-ups. Really like the scupper detail. Best is seeing how much your family is enjoying it all ready....

Sorry. Just read that again and it sounds like you don’t need to remove it if it’s solid. Looks great by the way. Worth all the effort in the end.

I think you are on the right track with the core at the bow. I left the first 4 feet of my liner in because i was worried about losing control of the flare. I ended up having an issue blending at the...
