back here again. had cash crunch and too much work. blog was neglected.

I now have the surveyors report to go with my potential buyer package of plans and consultation.

Yesterday, Monday, I was going to dive into the work for everybody. As soon as I got up I got a text informing me that my lunar lander dwelling had been engulfed in a wild fire overnight, but was probably OK. I had to speed over and see what was damaged.
I was amazed. It was fine. We did learn that epoxy is self extinguishing in tests for the USCG, but I didn’t really want to test it.
Am here in office working all month.

Am back from a trip that I had promised to do for the last two years. I did have laptop workstation with me, but ended up putting over 3000 miles on the car. I was beat at the end of every day.

I will be back in the thick of it next week, working on all your projects, and will open my CFR 46 for Mark.

My 63 trimaran Atlantis is on the block and up for auction I see. I got this.

Several people have noted that it lost it’s mast some time ago.  I do recall that First owner declared his carbon fiber had double the modulus that I expected. My mast design was way over built in his estimation. His mast build failed.  He never told me.

I’m on the road this week until the 31st.
I have the laptop with me and most of the files I need. And I get email.
After I get back I can catch everybody up, and go point by point with Mark Ganulin.
As though I have nothing better to do.

One of mine this time. People, contact me before you start cutting. I was not contacted with this one.
Having a walkway back can be a great idea. There does have to be a minimum amount of shear material, and the cap strips need to go far enough.
I’m not sure if Zeevonk always had the outboards, and if they were like that.
With the added material removal caused by the hatch there. it sure likes a failure waiting to happen.
If so I hope it happens close enough to shore to swim back.

I have been finishing up the new 45 cruising cat and that seems to be taking all my time. Almost have most of it done in time for the builder.
More here soon.
