Re: Bruce Hallman's site

I had a hazy recollection that Bruce had moved house and taken on a rather large house restoration project. Checking back I'm not sure if he also sold his near finished Topaz. Gosh, time flies. I would think that Bruce has secure backups to all the material he's published online... and more that he hadn't published.


Dilemma about my Topaz Spyder

Hallman's collection of isometrics was certainly fun to browse.  It also would be of great value to Susan.  The last activity I saw from Hallman was a few pics of his Topaz Spyder being moved to a new home. Actually the pics were of the boat leaving the build site. I don't recall it at the new site.  The Topaz was (at my best guess) over 90% complete.  I expected post launch photos in a few months.  Instead all went dark.  I long ago concluded he ran into a sudden major health problem.

Hello All.

I think that Bruce and PB&F will come to make sure that his body of renderings will not get lost.
I hope that matters are moving in the right direction.
 
Thank you Andrew for trying to keep Hallman’s work accessible.
More when things get more certain.

I knew that when the OLD SHOE mast-episode emerged, that someone would sooner or later bring up the option to just build the original mast-design in wood.
The option still stands.  Let me know what you need to get this done.

The MAIB-sequence has gone well past the 100-mark post-Phil.  Two issues ago at #522 ,I started a longer sequence on a displacement-speed derivative of Design #679, beginning with outboard-power.  Then in #523 the original assembly-sequence illustrated with images from my building 39-foot Design #681, close enough since both follow the same hull-shape and hull-structural approach.  In #524 now at the printer an inboard-diesel option.  Many more flavors on that theme to come.

I'm still willing to try and recover as much of Bruce's isometrics database as I can from the various archives and flickr and put it up on a separate page on chebacco.com.  but I am not going to do anything without Bruce's permission - does anyone know how to contact him? (the email address I have used in the past is likely hijacked like his site I guess)

The address I have for him is his last name @... but I haven't been in touch with him since 2010.

Thanks all, for the feedback.  I'll have to follow up on what's going to happen to all my own photos on Flickr.

My family and I are no longer in East Africa but in that most difficult of hardship assignments, Washington, DC!  We are off to *West* Africa this summer, but unfortunately far from the sea.

I still get e-mails about my old site from time time as it is still party accessible here --http://www.oocities.org/owlnmole/ -- even though I no longer use that Yahoo e-mail address.

I suspect PCB would have recommended as large a Tortoise/Brick shape as will fit in your van, lines be damned, as in practice you'll never notice the difference.  I think it would be easier to trim Brick down a little than to scale up Tortoise.

I am not often on this group but I am happy to chat any time, you can reach me through cluttonfred.info or owlnmole (that symbol goes here) gmail (you know the rest).

Cheers,

Matthew

Hi Matthew,


I recall this issue was topical here last August. Was said to be resolvable, but apparently not... at least not yet. And now Yahoo has sold Flikr where Bruce placed most of those isometrics. Yahoo gave notice a couple weeks ago about a time limit in which to save content on Flikr before the new owner (name escapes me) owns it all and does what they will. See:

BTW, a few days ago I was looking again at your old Brick page... I will probably go with stretched fold-up or demountable stack-up Tortoise tender though to carry in van about 7ft long in the back with plenty of width and height. Chappelle produced a similarly flat transomed garvey at 14ft LOA and 40in chine beam, "Mule", that is so close in dimensions and lines but a far more complicated old style build. He actually does give detailed instructions in how to expand the side planking, a bit of a course in drafting, but the sheet with the figure he constantly refers to has gone missing! Are you still in East Africa?
