Re: [bolger] Re: Navel Jelly Galley
long either, there are three photos in Files under Naval Jelly and they
show it coming out of the "Shop" a second floor window on day 5 and
being paddled on day 6. I don't think the rig ever got put up.

Without the fold's complexity, Navel Jelly would go together much faster, a couple or 3 weekends with glue and paint drying time during the week. This would be for a good sized building crew of modest skills with a skilled and experienced leader who could make the saw cuts, and direct the crew.

sails would be the most expensive part of the project. Though, he
made the valid point that it would be cheap when measured "dollar per
person" to engage eight people crewing a fast sailboat for fun.
And, if cost were prohibitive to the point of killing the project,
that polytarp sails could be used and would work. (Yet, I suspect
that finely crafted sails would make a big difference in top speed.)

It's a thousand dollars worth of boat caring ten thousand dollars worth of boat. A really fine looking hull with that sail plan would be another matter and something a person might be able to sell when the time comes. One thing for sure it is really interesting to contemplate. I would think a sailing club might get a kick out of building one and sailing it. That way the loss, for each member would be small. I would sure be willing to kick in some work and a few hundred dollars to sail her some. Doug
