Jason,
One compartment at a time sounds like a good approach.
I've not set a date certain for the launch (lest I set myself up for
failure), but I'm hoping for mid-summer. I'd like to get my family
out on Lake Michigan sometime this summer/fall.
Cheers,
Jim

Thanks Nels,
I appreciate your repeating yourself. I've been reading the
archives, and I think I only have about 34,000 posts to go!
The list of articles in this reader looks terrific: I'll give it a
try. As for the book...I live in mortal fear of my wife filing for
divorce if I spend any more money on books. [But what she doesn't
know, she can't divorce me for.]
Cheers,
Jim

Jim -
I'm glad i'm not the only one currently struggling through this
micro thing.
I'm on the same line of thought with you on the keel......not too
worried about it, i just want to get it behind me.
I'm looking forward to your pictures get 'em up will ya.
Not sure about my building pace, now the weather is getting nice
it's hard to stay in the garage and i feel bad running the table saw
after 8 pm, my neibors may kill me before i'm done.
I've decided to just finish out one compartment at a time. Stern
well, bow well, stowage bins, then the interior.....i actually
already started framing the bunks cause i wanted to stiffen the hull
up before i flip her back over to glass the bottom. Been dragging my
feet on that part as i'll need to let her sit untouched for a week
before i can prime it and flip it back over.
I'm hoping to do sea trials by the end of august but that will be
without an electraical system or water tanks. I'm setting the boat
up for a bit of micro cruising but just geting it on the water takes
precedent over fitting out the cruising gear as i won't take an
extended cruise until december. I'm a poor graduate student so
funding may slow my progress significantly, only a little bit of tax
refund left to plunder.
When is your targeted launch date?

Hey Jason,
The hull's mostly complete. A picture's worth a thousand words, so
I'll get a couple in the photos section of my profile...soon I hope.
I'm just a bit out in front of you, but I suspect not for long at the
pace you've set.
Mostly these days I seem to be doing more spring cleaning than
building. Until the weather warms a bit, I'm going to get to the
interior, the masts/spars, and the keel. I'm looking for some
information on pouring the lead also. It doesn't look difficult, but
I'm curious about hanging it. The plans don't call for 'through
bolting', and I can't help but wonder about strength.
By the way, your questions seem right on target to me.
Do you have a launch date targeted?
Cheers,
Jim

Hey Jason
I put off starting my Micro till this fall rather than starting the project late and not being able to finish it this summer. The wait is well justified by following your progress and letting you ask all the questions. I certainly appreciate your doing so.
The only problem I see is that when I have to ask questions here the stock answer is going to be, "didn't we just answer that question? Go read the archives ya moron!"
So I for one appreciate the information that you're harvesting from this group. Thanks.
Letting others boldly go...first.

Jason & Peter,
Yah, through the frames is what I understood, so that's what I did.
My much greater concern - after reading this conversation - is that I
REALLY screwed up by "drinking while lofting". Now I feel obligated
to drink throughout just for the sake of consistancy.
Guidance appreciated,
Jim

You just stopped my heart. I thought i done screwed up good.
I just scambled for my plans the notches are through the frames
entirely.......i remembering questioning it but i went along with

ballon goo and got the bow steps right (top one is an inch

Thanks for the nice pictures. I couldn't help but to notice that
for both your bow transom and transom,you have cut out,right through
the plywood,the notches for the chine logs and shear clamps.Is this
really how it is shown on the plans? I only ask since I did mine
with notches in the backing frames of the two transoms but not
through the plywood thus making for a nice even exterior surface and
easy protection for the end grains of the chine logs and shear
clamps.
Nevertheless, I still can't believe I screwed up my transoms and
never noticed......hopefully Nels,the new owner of LESTAT, hasn't
noticed either :-). I can't find my Micro plans right now but could
someone out there confirm for me what the plans say regarding the
chine logs and shear clamps at the transoms?
Keep up the good work Jason and here's to wishing you a
successful launch this summer!!!

Hey i got off my lazy bum and uploaded some pictures of building my
micro navigator.
Go to:
ofoto.com
username is jasonstancil(@)hotmail.com...........please don't spam
me. The password is bolger.
Flipping the 3/8 " micro was a bear, but not nearly as bad as
getting it back in the basement. Could'nt believe it she's square
the only thing off, albiet only a hair is the bow transom. Less than
an eighth but i know it's there. I have since added two micro
navigator specific frames to the boat (not epoxied in yet)....when i
put it together i just used temp frames as bolger planned for the
regular micro. Unfortunately when i put the bottom on epoxy ran down
into the screwed in place temp frame joints.....so i'm going to have
to grind them out. two steps forward one back. Having fun. she'll
get wet before summers over. Looking forward to putting the sheer
clamps and rubrails on tommorrow. Maybe i'll fillet the bulkheads
and logs too......i've used biger logs on a brick i don't trust them
entirely. Suggestions?
