a spin. Don't know about my Hartley though - what with building a
house and flitting back and forth to Brisbane on business I find it
hard to grab time to work on her. I suppose I could always take
my daughter's D4.
Speaking of rot - the transom on my Hartley TS16 was so badly
rotted that when I dried it out the wood cracked. I mean, like a
mud puddle cracks when it drys out - all sort of crazed and black.
Some people who see it think that it must have caught fire. I have
removed all the transom framing and decided that I am going to
take 100mm off the end of the boat to get back to good ply.
Rather than reconstruct the transom in the same (rot prone)
manner, I have cut a new transom from 12mm exterior ply and
pre-glassed it. I plan to fit it to the hull stitch-and-glue style, and
hopefully that will eliminate most of the places where water can
accumulate.
northern suburbs and has a very nice Kirby NIS. There must be
heaps of others. I will ask around.

as i live next a huge salt lake i'll give you my experiences.
Doug fir living in near or on pure salt looks like rope after 100
years. A 10' x6' railway sleeper yields a nice 2x4 when cleaned up.
the salt also ruins blades. dry salt lying around wil suck up any
moisture, but , will eventually migrate to coat every thing
insight. . Linseed oil over old salty wood goes crystaline.
IF any body wants some I've got 100's millions tons out back.
ive spent years cleaning it all out of my landyachts.
I think the ventilation lobby should be listened to
I'll find a photo of some nice stuff to post . I just spent a few
days on the lake filming the next model KIA car to be released inb
Europe .
back to schooners.
Thanks for the welcome back Bruce. I plan to be bringing the
schooner down to Perth for CHristmas for some sailing at Rockingham.
Any chance of a bit of a Messabout of our own . I'd love to see some
other home builts and down a sausage and ale?
do yuo know of anybody else whod fit the bill?
Cheers Paul
