Re: New construction Pics. of our "Bunny R" Lobsterboat.
Looks like a pleasant riding design. And ambitious project which
should be rewarding. Thanks for the picks.

Hello everyone,
I've just got back from Port Sorell and I can say that progress on
our "Bunny R" 28' x 10' Lobsterboat is going nicely at this stage!
I've just posted 9 pictures showing recent progress of the Bunny R
Lobsterboat that we're building. They're in the files section in
Bolger4 in the folder "Tyson's latest Proj.- A Bunny R Lobsterboat"
The pictures show just about all the backbone structure, minus stem all
fitted prior to the nasty job of boring the keel bolt holes then
shifting it in pices outside to our building shed so we can glue and
bolt it together then really get into it
This stage is probably the hardest bit of boatbuilding for this craft,
the planking, while tedious (Strip planking) is fairly straight forward
and shouldn't pose too many troubles for my father as he's quite
experienced with this method!
Please note that he doesn't use the "bullnose and groove" method of
strip-planking. Each plank is fitted as in carvel construction.This
saves alot of work later with fairing the hull. Anyway only some hulls
can be built with the grooved strip method and they usually have fairly
slack and easy lines!

I've just got back from Port Sorell and I can say that progress on
our "Bunny R" 28' x 10' Lobsterboat is going nicely at this stage!
I've just posted 9 pictures showing recent progress of the Bunny R
Lobsterboat that we're building. They're in the files section in
Bolger4 in the folder "Tyson's latest Proj.- A Bunny R Lobsterboat"
The pictures show just about all the backbone structure, minus stem all
fitted prior to the nasty job of boring the keel bolt holes then
shifting it in pices outside to our building shed so we can glue and
bolt it together then really get into it
This stage is probably the hardest bit of boatbuilding for this craft,
the planking, while tedious (Strip planking) is fairly straight forward
and shouldn't pose too many troubles for my father as he's quite
experienced with this method!
Please note that he doesn't use the "bullnose and groove" method of
strip-planking. Each plank is fitted as in carvel construction.This
saves alot of work later with fairing the hull. Anyway only some hulls
can be built with the grooved strip method and they usually have fairly
slack and easy lines!
