The second 65′ ferry bound for Lake Victoria is put into the container near Seattle. The hulls must be cut in half to fit into containers. I mistakenly thought that they had elected to bolt the facing bulkheads together instead of keeping the joins
in-plane of the hull as I advised. The bulkheads are only for alignment. Very pleased to hear that.

New USCG design. If it only had two hulls…
I seem to have bad luck with sealing a vacuum bag with shipping tape. So, for my last bagging I used only Liquid Nails ($2 a tube). It was a small bag (32″ x 72″ part) so it only used one tube. The shipping tape costs more than that as I recall. My
plastic storm window splines all wore out and I have not gotten around to buying new ones. They are my favorites still. If I have them.
/>and we thought ducks had no more use in naval architecture! They can be used to help epoxy/plywood scarphs without bothering to set up a vacuum system. Explaining how ducks are used to design a hull to the kids is kind of like explaining a typewriter…
Ok Ok, this is why I have been kind of underground for a few days. Was rush deadline for the Singapore Asian Cruise Conference. 49 passenger, traditionalesque trimaran for Palawan. Foam/glass construction. Aeroesque rigs for easy handling. 65′ long
, not counting the styling prod and tail.
One of the new features on my windows 7 is that I can now have a constantly changing background. I have chosen the so far over 280 pictures from the blog. I think its pretty cool. Does anyone else want these? I can’t email as they come to 205 mg for
some reason. A DVD?
Let me know.

I had almost forgotten about the annual Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival this coming weekend. Port Townsend is unique anyway. Where else would the (Water Street) Crips steal marine plywood instead of electronics from your pickup? See buy cialis online no prescription

I need several more of these Lewmar or Beckson plastic ports. Are 14″ by 4″ on the “glass”. Anyone have some? Black is best but white also fine. Let me know. Looking for used…
