In fact,alot will depend very much on how well my new boatshed
works out as a shop for winter/springtime building.Phase 1 of the
boatshed is now complete and it is on to phase 2 once I dig out from
the lastest snowfall.
The plan is as folows: build bow shed,now completed.Build base
onto which bow shed will be raised and installed onto,in progress
soon.Assemble side panels in new shop.Slide shop forward on skis to
permit rolling hull bottom rightside up onto shop floor.Slide shop
back over bottom. Install side panels,roof and begin work on interior
etc until launch day.Barring any weirdness,this should bring me
somewhere near mid to late April.
The new boat shed will measure 16' in height,14' in width and
40' in length. The delays encountered so far have either been from
freezing rain or simply abundant snow fall.The bitter cold winds
coming off the St.Lawrence Seaway, I can deal with.Enjoined to these
obvious ones,are renovation projects at home with one new closet just
finsihed in the master bedroom and a floating floor to go in shortly
after the holidays.
I expect to be posting some new photos later this week showing
the bowshed building process.
Hope all is well out in your winter wonderland neck of the
woods :-)

Peter Lenihan, working on his winter muscle groups by shoveling out
two cars,one walkway and the evil street plow which appears intent on
giving me a real workout with each new pass...........bastard!

Yes, the photos sure raised my spirits on a snowy, blowy day. Helps
to remember the time BC (before coldness) when the water was softer.
To all those interested, there WILL BE a 2004 Kingston Messabout on
the weekend after Labour Day. I hope to see ya'll there.

Peter, I just saw the slick, shiny bottom of your svelt Windemere (in
the photos section of this group), looking very good. Will it make it
to the 2004 Messabout?

Some time ago I suggested to Bill that the Auray punt would be a
great tender - and so it seems to be. Bill is absolutely delighted
with the little two-sheet boat, and I know that he'd be also be
delighted if people who heard about it should build the same boat.
And PCB's enthusiasm also shines through the pages of BWAOM.
Hell, I might just have to buy a yacht so that I can build one
myself...

Bolgerados,
Ya'll gotta check out the home page of Chucks Duckworks magazine
for a wonderful pictoral essay on the not-yet-famous Kingston
Messabout hosted by Le baron de Kingston aka Bruce Hector this past
September.
Some excellent detail pictures of a few Bolger boats
exceptionally well executed by amateur builders along with the works
of other well-known-to-amateur-builders designers.
Thanks Chuck for some welcome "summer time" images!!! Just what
the doctor ordered :-)
