Peter I originally put some drawings on the files but they got
cleaned out. I looked at the problem and conclude that it was a scase
of not enough wood and too manyscrews in a small space. i increased
the chine logs to 3" x3/4 over the area of the latches and over the
area of the cases. by glueing an exta 1 1/2 x 3/4 on the outside .
I then doubled my dimentions and thickness of material. Scrap
stainless cost < $2.00 USand I only needed to drill it , nowelding
If you send me a full email adress to
wattleweedooseeds@...I'll send a copy to you. I cant send
attachments over yahoo. Bolger2 is one I can never find.
Cheers paul

Do you have a plan for the latches at the chine? My friend Leander
still needs latches for his boat and might like to share info. He
made some decisions about the way the daggerboard trunks are
installed that made it a little difficult.

Lot of waffle and speculation lately gentlemen!
no opinions to offer, I just hope spring is early for you all.
GOOD NEWS my final sheet of ply arrived today so the bottom goes on
the folding schooner this weekend. witha quick weekend off to sail a
square rigger i should be painting a hull in a week.
Then find a drum of rope and some poly tarp and bye , bye
One of my daughters asked if we could go on the school of the air
when the boat was finished.
She had it in mind we were going to go camping for ever!
number 5 crew is due in a few months so it was a good idea to go 31'
for a first boat!
cheers all Paul
