Inside the clamp....which is slightly oversized. I have a size 14 foot
and can get a toe hold to scoot around using the gorrilla size hand
rails i mounted on top. Easier than ducking through the foward
hatch....i'm too tall. However in rough water i'll use the hatch. I
think more would be better but then the deck lip would stab you in the
back when lounging.

Hi Bruce,
Can you tell me where Susan Davis' schooner photos are? I've been reading the posts, but can't seem to find my way to them.
Thanks, David

Yes Jason, I think your boat is very sensible. I'm now a shallow water
dweller (when not sailing), and your setup would be much better than
my keel....it would give an extra hour of sailing between tides. Good
on you for going your own way.
I tried latex and hated the finish. All I did was sand with my random
orbital sander, reducing to very fine disks,and then painted with high
gloss enamel house paint. This did not take very long at all.
As for resizing image files to a reasonable size, I would imagine
Picassa, a free image program now owned by Google would do this. Or
Irfanview, another free one. You could reduce the images to, say, 500
pixel size, and reduce the quality from 100% to say 75%, and this will
be more than adequate for computer monitors.
I wondered what sort of camera you used.....rarely have I seen such
'noise'! But your boat shone through,

Jason,
I look forward to seeing the interior. If all goes well I will be working
on a Navigator starting this winter so have been searching a while for
photos. I have already printed out Bruce's photos and your photos from
Bolger6 and added them to my file. One question. Did you place the aft
cabin sides flush with the hull sides or inside the shear clamp? Can't tell
at this screen resolution. Your boat looks terrific. Indeed a lot in a
small package.

If i can find my digital camera i'll post some interior photos.
The photos you've seen were taking with a crappy disposible/recclable
camera i bought at the oat ramp.
The inside looks real nice if i do say so mostly brite finished cedar
tongue and groove boards.

400lbs of lead shot poured in epoxy all low down in the bilge.....no
floor boards removable carpet above the conglamorate.
Looks right huh?.......how the hell did you get your finish coat
sooooooo glossy. I just gave up and painted semigloss latex ontop of
many hours of sanding microspheres.
If someone walks me through this photo shrinking thing i'll be happy

I finally got into Bolger6 files and the photos are great. Nice boat!
Would love to see some shots of the interior.

Congratulations Jason. Your creation looks 'right' to me.
What was the weight of your inside ballast? Is there any outside ballast?
Just a point about your web photos, they are huge files at 800-1100kb.
I have broadband, and that takes ages to download. They only need to
be 100kb or less.
Cheers,
Don

Nah-
Your photos really helped guide me through the works and i figured if
Don could make his boat all pointy i could go for the 10 inch draft
version.
The tabernacle is great by the way. I literally would kill the engine
about 25 yards from the ice's ferry bridge (8')drop the mast, coast
under and have it back up on the other side as the breeze and current
nudged the boat through. The rig is a five minute job at the ramp.
Still have to figure out some of the sheeting (fiddle block).

Hey folks, stuck some photo's of this past weekend's launch and
cruise in bolger 6 files. Multum in Parvo is on the prowl!
Boat did well, no leaks or crashes. Balanced well, plenty of sail
and ballast to support it. Down on the lines a bit but there was 3
days of food, water, gear and beer on board. Not to mention myself,
girlfriend, two big ass dogs and many tools to fiddle the rigging
and what not. Still need to tinker with a few things, all in due
time. Will enjoy it for now and piddle with it this winter when it
get's nasty outside.
For those who haven't heard of my frowned on exploits. I build a
micro navigator, but with a offcenterboard, internal ballast and a
huge single balanced lug sail.
Wind was negligible for the whole trip 5-6 knots......ghosted but i
need some wind to get a good feel for it all.
Thanks for the groups help along the way.
