I think you're on to something, maybe i'll finish at least most of
the inside before moving on to the keel.
Tell me more about the sagging cabin top. I saw in the pictures
where you had three sticks laminated togather......those things
sagged out? I'm tring to avoid steam bending if possible...what do
you think if i just planed the arch in the tops of the beams and
left the bottom square.....think that would hault sag?
My photos are at:

username isjasonstancil@...
and the password is bolger......i think you asked, i've been posting
so much i'm not sure what i'm replying to.
So when you going to float that thing anyhow? Last i saw the only
thing lacking was the keel, which you already poured the lead for.
What about your sails and rigging? Did you make your own sails or
contract it out? Let me know when you get the rigging figured
out......too many ropes for my feeble mind.

There is a lot more time than you would think in the cabin top
Jason, which is better spent under cover.
I wonder if it is possible to somehow prefabricate the top while in
the garage, then fix in place later outside?
It also depends on the standard you wish to achieve. If you are
happy to simply bolt/screw plastic windows in mastic on the outside,
you can save a lot of time.

the boat up to mount the

I just measured my basement and stuck a scale to the navigator
plans. The pilothouse won't clear the center beam in my basement
even without the keel installed. So the new plan of attack involves
finishing out the two wells getting the decks on, building a cradle,
hanging the keel, stuffing the lead in it then dragging it outside
(hoping the cradle will stay together) for the framing of the house
and the finish. I wrote that like i'd get it all done this week, ha!
