Canal Boat Jezebel II - Construction Update

This page may take a moment to  load...

Canalboater's Canal Boat Project, Jezebel II.

Jezebel II is a 58' x16' x 30" cold moulded composite canal boat being built along the lines of the Dutch Style boats in use today. I've been working on this boat just over 9 years. I started with a clean sheet of paper and spent over a year on design and looking for a place to build. As of this month I have over 14,000 man hours in the construction. The boat weighs just over 34,000pounds. Estimated time to complete is about 2 years.

General Arrangement

Kruez,

 

The fiberglassing is going to start this coming Tuesday, July 10. If you still want to come over and help out I sure could use it. We will be at it for several weeks I'm sure. Let me know when so that I can plan accordingly.

 

Any one else in the group that would like to lend a hand is more than welcome.

JEZEBEL II UPDATE

 I have just uploaded the latest pictures of this summers work. They are number 200 thru 204. These pictures are still a month behind and I hope to get a few more next week. As you can tell from the pictures the barn is getting smaller every day.

Its hard to get very good pictures as I can't get far enough away.

CB, 

 

Great job on editing and uplaoding those pics. Made things a lot easier for me. Thanks...

 

If you could, verify the accuracy of information on the member page. Check to see if the pics are in the proper order. Your home port is Dayton, as in Ohio correct? We're ready for more of them pics. Any suggestions as to make it better? Want to add additional description info?

Thanks again,
