Re: [bolger] Re: H&HS update
I think it has to do with our basic optimism. Boats that are 1/2 way
done are 90% completed (it looks 90% done). The final cost will be
approximately twice our realistic analyses at the beginning of the
project. Guess how much time it is going to take compared to the
original estimate?? I am sure this group can find the appropriate name
for this condition.

Why is it that these 90% completed projects seem to require another
90% of the labour to complete.

Back from ripping up some rotted ply of of his "90%" complleted Micro
he bought this summer.

Why is it that these 90% completed projects seem to require another

Back from ripping up some rotted ply of of his "90%" complleted Micro
he bought this summer.
I can see you acquired this project 90% completed. To bad your not
closer, the JNB (Juneau Non-organized Boatbuilders) would love to share
the fun.

I'm starting to worry about whether _Shrike_ is going to be ready for
the Provincetown race, let alone Kingston next weekend. Today, I
* rebuilt bulkhead "D" to give compartment D-E a larger access
hatch,
* discovered that I installed bulkhead "C" on the wrong side of
the frame (d'oh!), and will need to adjust the main mast step to
compensate,
* finished assembling the daggerboard, except for pouring the
requisite 50 kilos of lead,
* primed the headblocks for the keel and rudder trunks so that I
can assemble them tomorrow, and
* barrier coated the interior with epoxy.
Tomorrow's plan, before departing for Toronto:
* cut out the daggerboard slot,
* install the daggerboard trunk,
* install the rudder trunk,
* finish paying the starboard chine with epoxy putty, and
* finish assembling the sheer clamps.
After that, I'll still need to
* prime and paint the interior,
* install foam and Reflectix,
* install hatch hardware for hatch "D",
* turn her over, and mow down the "flash" around the chines,
* Cuprinol the bottom,
* barrier coat the hull with epoxy,
* sand off the epoxy drips,
* cover the hull in Xynole and wet it out,
* add two more coats of epoxy over that,
* sand and fair,
* prime the hull and sheer clamps,
* strike the waterline on the hull,
* coat the bottom and trunk interiors with VC-17,
* paint the topsides and sheer clamps,
* deliver _Y-1320_ to Palenville for my friend Cathy to restore
(and to get her off _Shrike_'s trailer),
* rebuild the trailer bunks,
* flip the hull over again, possibly putting her on the trailer,
* install the sheer clamps,
* run out to the Orange Box for two more sheets of plywood,
* trace and cut out the deck pieces,
* make and install the deck carlins,
* make and install the coamings for the cockpits,
* install the knees for the forward cockpit,
* cut out the slots in the deck for the rudder cartridge and
daggerboard,
* barrier coat both sides of the deck with epoxy,
* install foam underneath the deck,
* install the deck,
* prime and paint the deck (with non-skid compound mixed in to the
paint),
* pour the lead for the bottom of the daggerboard keel,
* bend the attachment straps for the rudder,
* get Jase to do the spot-welding to fasten the rudder to the
rudder post,
* make the tiller and comb plate,
* perform final assembly of the rudder cartridge,
* make provisions for fids and retaining cords for the daggerboard
and rudder cartridge,
* cut the tiller comb slots in the aft coaming of the aft cockpit,
* varnish the masts,
* test fit the masts, and add fittings for the running rigging,
* obtain a 360 degree white LED array for the main mast and
install it,
* make the stemhead fitting,
* obtain cordage and run the sails up as a test,
* install the rowlocks,
* make a rowing seat slash bailing bucket slash expedient head,
* install the lettering for her name and hailing port, and finally
* conduct sea trials.
That's rather a lot to accomplish. Yipes.
