Peter

Yeah Richard,
You should join Gavin's boat design list. It's a gas.

tried weldwood. don't like it, will stick to epoxy. (with gloves)

Basicaly a rectangular box, 2 ft wide, 1 ft high. About 18 inches from the ends, I
curve the sides and bottom together with the same curve. Center 5 feet of the boat
will be dead flat...

Comments welcome.

I've only broken one mast, and I tend to go sailing on windy days....
Knots in your mast are BAD...

I prefer water-tite cambers, especialy on small boats. The storage space is very

Table saw is handy, as is a power hand planer.
Tried using my staple gun on Entropy... went back to drywall screws. They clamp
and hold at the same time, and you can get fine adjustments in the clamping
pressure, and if you put them in the wrong spot, you back them out and run them in
again.

The staples didn't pull the work together very well. Tried ring shank nails too...
I'll stick to screws. Bought SS deck screws so I could leave some of them in
permanently...
