Superb job and great compliments on the speed of completion.
The result is beautiful.
A spray skirt is something you may want to consider. The Wood Duck probably has enough beam that rolling...

There are a lot of lines and details in this training setup. I would imagine the laser sailor is doomed to endless sailing (like the Flying Dutchman) until someone releases a few lines.
As for...
Well, that certainly is exciting. Sure, I will help Raid the Napa River. Quanci and Lovely help would be appreciated.
Thanks Skip for your connections and information that does not make it to...
The work seems to be going well to a beautiful result. There should be lot of happy times on the water.
The photos in the shop are amazing. It is safe to say that 150 years (or more) of boat...
The navigator was an extremely talented scientist with a slide rule and a working knowledge of celestial navigation.
In my first college physics class in ‘67, we calculated the trajectory of a...
The K1 is a delightful little keelboat passing off as a dinghy. I can see where the boat generates a lot of attention.
It seems you have the only K1 in North America. Do have some general ideas...
WHOOSH goes the polar ice lady!
I am jealous. I always wanted to sail one, it jist hasn’t happened and I don’t spend any time in frigid areas.
Thanks for the vicarious thrill.

I am far from current on the active dinghy classes.
The hull seems to have a rocket launcher on the bow.
The crew will get their exercise, and stay young and spry (just like a 20-year old)!

I purchased a carbon fiber greenland paddle with bright red blades from Pygmy Kayaks in Port Townsend. The design has a connection so the two parts store easily.
The greenland paddle is my go...
Hi Matt,
Welcome to the opportunity to have fun and learn how to build smarter.
I have a CLC expedition wherry that is inching toward the final stages of completion. The construction was...
That sounds like a fun way to experience weather!
Has the replacement motor made it back inside of DM?

Notable weather experiences-

Howard should be proud and enjoy his new watercraft.
As for the logo, the insignia for the Scamp is a lantern. So, the semaphore clue N and D. Well, it took a second cup of coffee, but I...

I will match your double paddle, lower the elevation by 282 feet below sea level, and float on a mere 2-3 feet of water that is saltier than the ocean. I will allow Marsha as the paddler.

Marjorie would need some time travel capabilities to relive the voyage described in these books, but historical background is always interesting to me.

Jackie is good at what she does. No, let’s make that very good - even excellent.
Putting a community in words is one thing. Finding the community and having folks tell their tale is harder.

My sailing experience started on SF Bay in the 1980’s. It took a decade of experimenting and a solution was found. One piece polypropolene bib overalls and foul weather tops and bottoms. After...
Happy Retirement!
Since this is the SSS forum, I am obliged to suggest you do more sailing.
As for studying music, enjoy the challenge. I played (not well, mind you) piano, violin, and...
Any comments about why a single sundog was sighted.
Curious, as usual.

Yes, sunbrella. A local fabric store in Bakersfield had it on stock. Some of the fabric went to cover the evaporative (swamp) cooler on the roof. There was more. A fun fabric for bright visuals....
Macapuno plus - a wonderful incentive.
My experience with sundog sighting has been that have been on both sides of the sun. So, the ENE and NNE seem to be the appropriate answer. Clouds may...
Rigging the boat to my liking. A jib and furler was added. The hang point for the top yard of the gaff sail was moved about two feet to remove wrinkles from sail shape. The interference with top...
The rudder was completed with pintles in the same alignment. A line goes to rudder head to lift lower portion. A black shock cord pulls the lower portion down.

Progress gets easily diverted, however, the 1 inch thick sealed ethafoam was covered and secured in place with snaps on the outboard side ans velcro on the inboard side. The cushion covers two...
That’s easy I have an extra one. Do you prefer an SSS burgee with 1 or 2 grommets?
