New Boat 4 Tchoup

[Tchoupitoulas]

Bonded some eyestraps on the booms and masts for the support lines. I'm not sure what you call the lines that hold up the wishbone boom.

Mizzen mast step and tube, ready to go.

Centerboard trunk, ready to go.

In the Everglades Challenge you need to move your boat from the high tide line to the water by yourself. And you have to take whatever you use with you.

So I built a cart.

Only one wheel because of supply chain issues. Wheelez says another couple of months until they get more 19" beach wheels.

Nice progress and some creative solutions.

I wonder how much effort it would take to get cart to a balance point under the boat. I don’t know, maybe lift one end and stack things underneath to give clearance.

When I picked up the KDI in the Pt Townsend area, I made a stop at Duckworks and got a pair of the yellow rollers. One place I was considering launching had a rocky bottom. Dragging the bottom over the rocks to get away from wind and waves seemed difficult and hard on the bottom.

Keep up the fun work!

That's the idea Ants.

I'd say a milestone here. A build space has been secured.

Happy Thanksgiving

Here we go.

Finally something that looks like a boat. Who's coming to visit?
