[bolger] Re: Perfect Skiff/CSD Skiff
I think I met John though other sources, can't remember if he's on the list
(John, you out there?)
I can only admire, questions are for people who know.

Robert,
Thanks for posting those pics. She's lovely... an inspiration. How
much trickier is an inboard tiller/rudder as compared to hanging one on
the transom?

sub-directory (folder for you Mac guys!). Not only are these pictures
great, the boat has some interesting features:
1. John did bright finished decks using up some beautiful Okume plywood. He
jokingly (maybe not) indicated that the bright decks ate up probably 80
hours of building time, as you can't just patch gaps here and there, or
hammer marks etc like you can with painted decks. I think the results are
wonderful.
2. After receiving outrageous quotes for the designed sail plan (solent lug
with jib set flying) of $750, he went with the standard "Instant Boat" rig
that is considerably cheaper. As discussed on the group before, he made
sure the center of area/effort lined up with the old sail plan exactly. He
said the boat sails great this way, although he thinks it could use more
canvas in light air.
We've seen in the last two weeks two examples of folks who went beyond the
"quick & dirty" style of building (this boat and the Arkansas June Bug) and
produced gorgeous boats. That's really nice to see.
