Apologies

Apologies for the repeated messages from curragower. Not sure why he has let this happen but his membership has been cancelled until he can get his Inbox "Under Control"

Curragower, you are welcome to join up again just shut off your Auto Reply. Your messages were bouncing back and your mail client was talking to itself. Very anoying to the rest of us.

Kind of funny when you think about it... Just gotta love this technology...

thanks

I am very pleased with all of the replies to my questions! I would have replied sooner but have had some computer problems. I have also not started my project, but hope to next spring/summer

Transducer

Anyone know where I could find a transducer (for furasta) with a stem length of 9" or better? I've exhausted my resourses and need 1 before we can drop it in the water, lest I'll have a chore on my hands to install it later. Thanks for any and all assistance. Jim

viking longship

Hello all,

I am looking for a study plan or a simple drawing of a viking longship, a friend of mine is a school teacher and is wanting it to use it in her lesson plan. I thought I had one but can't seem to find it.

Also a update on my project , the 12 foot row/sail dingy. I have almost got her hull stripped in should be sanding and fairing by Tuesday or so. I am going to make my own hollow mast, as well as my boom and gaff. Would any of you know if southern yellow pine will work or do I need to try and find something else? I haven't named her yet, but she ain't told me her name yet either.

I'll try and post some pics as soon as I can.

Thanks,

Bud

Tender

When (if) I ever get the rebuild done on my boat I am going to build a tender,I'm thinking something 10 to 14 foot long and flat bottomed so its easy to pull aboard and store . Does anyone have any suggestions?

Alexandria Seaport

Most of you know I am working on putting together a local community boat building program. Nevertheless, I stopped out at Alexandria Seaport Foundation in VA for a little tour and a valuable conversation with the director. Take a look at the pics in the photo albums. One cool timber framed shop and office they have floating there... thats the Beavens Skiff (their signature boat) they have standing up on the front facade. They are also the founders of the Family Boat Building Events you may have heard about.

WASTE TANKS

I'm looking for advise on areation for the blackwater and gray water tanks for JEZEBEL II. From what I've read, the key to oder control is plenty of ventilation so that the good microbes can do there job. That is to break down the waste. I'm looking at using aquairium air pumps, 1 for each tank, with a manifold of some type in the bottom of the tank to spread the air through out the large area, 28" x 54". The tanks are 20" deep. Anyone with any information or ideas? Please help.

"Cheap Canoe" free plans tested

I build a lot of small boats, so thought I'd try a plan given out for free on the net. Take a look at BoatPlans Online, or go to bateau.com for tgheir "Cheap Canoe" plan. It's a basic, two-sheet plywood stitch-and-glue flat-bottomed 14.5-foot canoe. As planned, it's gunnels are 12.5" above the bottom, but I raised them to the maximum the sheets of ply would allow (another 1-3/8"), and laminated a double rubrail for firmness. Today I added the second coat of epoxy to the hull, finished the red oak breasthook/decks, added some mountain ash carrying handles and peened a section of 1/2" copper pipe through her bow for a towrope. Everything is locked in place with epoxy or epoxy-and-sawdust, of course.

The plans call for no strongback for construction, but uses duct tape to hold the pieces together, instead (The "Red Green" approach). I used aluminum wire to be sure, but next time I think I'll use fish line so it won't matter to my tools if I leave the fasteners in place.

This is a very easy plan to follow, and easy to finish. This one will be bright red with a dark grey interior, and bright wood trim. Think I'll call her "Firecracker".
