I continue to marvel over how the companionway and drop board was

drop of water below decks as far as I can tell. And yet it never
sticks and still functions like it was running on oil. But then the

As ya know Peter it's a small unsophisticated market out here. Our
local vintner also runs the real estate office and car insurance
brokerage as well as being the mayor and he is apparantely in Las
Vegas on a winter break. (This is true I swear to God!)
However once you get past the first flagon it doesn't taste all that
bad!
When I did a google for Brights 74 Port this is what came up.
http://www.hemispheresmagazine.com/15facts/1999/canada_wine.htm
Interesting about Canada being the biggest producer of ice wines eh?
Considering we "invented it" when all our grapes froze for the tenth
year in a row.
I also googled "Celtic Tawney" and ended up ordering one of her
videos:-)
Now I have to figure out how to get this back onto the subject of
Bolger boats and flat bottoms again.
Perhaps you could explain in more detail how you buttered up your
rubrail?

Yes,I thicken the epoxy with pulferized cotton and work it to a
warm,creamy peanut-butter consistency.This is then spread out as
evenly as possible with a serrated trowel.The styrofoam panels are
then temporarily(sp) screwed down onto this thickened bed of epoxy
with backing paqds used on the screws to keep them from driving
right through the foam.I crank down on the screws firmly until I
start to see epoxy squeezing out from the edges of the foam. Mind
you,the blue styrofoam is somewhat denser then either the pink or
white styrofoam, so you may have to use larger backing pads for your
screws. Once the epoxy has kicked off,the screws are then backed out
with the resulting hole to be filled with epoxy,from the
outside,with round toothpicks,once temps become more comfortable
this Spring.
The roof does have crown in it,but it is only a little over an
inch,thus not readily visible to the eye(especially when viewed
through a photo)
Like your Birdwatcher,the hull sides on Windermere are slab sided
and only curve fore and aft.The 2" foam readily takes this gentle
bend,especially since I worked it in using relatively short lengths.
As to any general comments regarding foam work;
I like to give the foam surface facing the epoxy a quick pass with a
sanding block just to knock off the slickness of the processed foam.
I did not bother trying to get perfect fits with the foam.Instead,I
left about a half inch gap around the perimeter and made a pass
later with expanding construction foam,readily and cheaply available
in small spray cans.I found this allowed me to get perfect seals and
with the small cans,I was able to work small sections at a time
without wasting too much foam.(Most of these foams have to be used
in its entirety or else they foam up in the can,once you break the
seal).I found that my first trials with the expanding foam wasted
way too much since I was sprying in WAY too much foam.This stuff
really expands ALOT. Thankfully the excess was easily trimmed off
with a hack saw blade and then sanded flush with a small sanding
block.
The bowshed sheathing is doubled,and this is good.However,I am
really focusing on getting the interior done as much as possible
since I have a wonderful oil-filled electric heater inside which
keeps things at a toasty 72F....T-shirt weather :-) while I'm
working inside. I turn the heater on low at the end of the day
before shutting down for the night.
With all that rain,you guys must be close to breaking some sort of
record out West......betcha feeling good you're building a boat and
not a garage :-)
Happy building!
Sincerely,
Peter Lenihan,riding the roller-coaster winter temps as we plunge

Let's 'fess up as to why your efforts were a "day long affair". No
wonder your building efforts have slowed down!
First we have a guy blaming side-trips to the Caribbean in
interfering with his work - then another guy lamenting 27 straight
rain days and now you - who have been whining about the cold weather
along the shores of the St. Lawrence.
WE know what is really slowing you down;-)
On a more technicial level, am interested in what kind of port you
are using?

Peter,
Thanks for posting the pictures of your fine progress. I am still
experimenting with foam installation for the Birdwatcher. I see you
are using epoxy. Did you use thickner? The roof panels seem to be
flat. How have the curved panels along the hull worked for you? Any
general comments on the foam work?
Also, it looks like you are dealing with winter quite successfully.
Is your tent double?
It all looks good!

Bolgerados,
For those interested, I've posted some new photos over in
the files section of Bolger 4 here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bolger4/files/WINDERMERE/
The latest photos are near the bottom and are dated Jan 2006.
Some show the first stages of interior insulation going in and a few
show the installing of the inner layer of the rubrail. That is,the rub
rail is supposed to be finished to 3" X 3" but is best installed
laminated out of two lenghts of 1 1/2" X 3"...besides, just try
finding a nice clear piece of mahogany 3" X 3" X 33' at your local
lumber yard :-D
Installing the rub rails was a whole day long affair which really
really kept my two hands,two legs and two neurons very very busy.At
the end of the day,as night was closing in,that glass of port went
down the hatch like lightening.....so fast indeed,I almost didn't see
the second and third one :-)
As of this writing,most of the insulation is actually all installed
except for a few critical areas awaiting the running of electricals.I
should begin installing the finishing panels within the next week or
two.....will take pictures!
Happy building!
Sincerely,
Peter Lenihan,who swears he can really feel the lengthening of each
passing new day as the sun climbs ever higher in the sky and
excitement fills my dreams,from along the shores of the frozen
St.Lawrence Seaway..............
