    Hi Peter, great progress on your GIS!

    I have a radial cut sail that I'm very happy with. You can see it in several pictures and videos on my blog.

    It is made by Doyle Ploch Sails located in my town, St Petersburg FL. With the current euro - dollar exchange rate it could be a good price for you. Let me know if you are interested and I can help coordinate.

    Also their Facebook page

    If you don't want to deal with an overseas sail loft the McNamara sail looks great.

    Have anyone a tip for an excellent sail without this high costs?

    Maybe in UK. And if possible give me a picture of your tip.
    Peter,
    You can check out it in Poland - circa 100 PLN/sqm than up to 1000 PLN for GIS's sail.
    4-4.5 PLN is circa 1 € at present.
    Aloha!

    @all
    thanks a lot! I think I ask McNamara for some Pictures and a price. To get an optimized Sail for this smart boat is a good choice.

    Today(day 10) I worked at the bulkheads and build the sides. Sanding is not much interesting but will be done.

    Here three Pictures:
    Picture 1: sanding the bulkheads
    Picture 2: the sidepanels
    Picture 3: Bulkhead 3 and 4

    Waiting for the next step tomorrow

    Peter

    Today I build the centercase,means the centercase before shaping. It seems to me like a tricky detail. I think there are better ways to build it

    Greetings

    Peter

    Day 11
    Picture 1: timber strips 45mmx24mm with thicked epoxyd
    Picture 2: timber strips before pressure
    Picture 3: ready (I hope so )

    Default A fool with a tool ..

    because I thought I'm the greatest, today afternoon I got the answer.
    To build the stem I use handsaw, hammer and chisel.

    Step 1: saw some lines for orientation
    Step 2: use hammer and chisel to get the form
    Step 3: working at the details
    Step 4: get nearer to the finish

    Have a nice evening

    Peter





    Step 5: look at your desaster



    Step 6: first finish one side and going to have a drink

    The mecklenburgische seenplatte? I did a trip through this area with my then 8 yr old daughter in a Sevylor Tahiti a number of years ago, so I have some good memories of this area. Filled the bottom with camping gear and sat on it and paddled, put up a downwind rig and had some great spinnaker runs sailing down some of those lakes when the wind was right.

    We got some raised eyebrows from the DLRG when they were out rescuing capsized canoeists in a blow and we came surfing by in our blow-up boat...

    Looks like you're making great progress with your GIS!

    Peter, remember: the stem is not visible when the boat is completed and the epoxy will fill small gaps between the stem and the side panels. Enjoy step #7: another round of drinks.

    Default A great day

    Yesterday was a great day!
    First I opend my präsent, the centercase. I was in ensure about it.
    Then I started to build the GIS with all the ply from the past.
    But there is an error: Bulkhead #1 and bulkhead #2 have to move from the front to the middle for 30cm. The holes I drilled will be in the fronttank, so they aren't visible! Puuhh
    All mistakes I have done are not visible. That's great!!

    Now here are your pictures:
    Picture 1: Open the plastic
    Picture 2: First sanding and it really looks ok
    Picture 3: the stern
    Picture 4: What is the right wrod for this work?
    Picture 5: Handtools if you don't have all this electricals
    Picture 6: First impressions from the front
    Picture 7: from the side
    Picture 8: and from the transom

    Nice job Peter.

    It is a bit upsetting for me that you have done more in 13 days than I have done in 9 months!

    @Gizzle,

    My way to the boat is 10m, so every free Minute I can work. I hope, that over all a time from six weeks is enough.

    Her a lost Picture, the bow.

    Today I had a little trouble with the bowplate. I sawed it and it is perfect. Than I cut it out for the spacers and the Gunwale, but I take the wrong site from the spacer.

    In the second the same, a perfect bowplate but the next step: I took 19mm not 15mm. So the cutout doesn't looks professional. Up in the garbage

    Tomorrow I will start the next try.

    But somethink had finished:
    I set the bulkheads #1 and #2 at the right place. The drillholes are closed with epoxyd, the gunwales are extended to 5,2m and the spacers at the first side are mounted.

    Here the pictures:
    Picture 1: long gunwales
    Picture 2: Spacers
    Picture 3: Nice look at the GIS

    I don't know how well this will translate but...

    HOLY SMOKES!!! You're a fricken speed demon!

    In other words, great job. Feel free to relax and have a beer! Please don't launch next week...

    Wow, looks like your going really well, especially with the bare minimum of tools you seem to use! Wouldn't a handplane make things a lot easier here and there? At least you have plenty of clamps!
    Beautiful Berner Sennen by the way!

    @davlafont
    Thank for this response! Yes, in the evening I've got my drink(s)
    Launching next week . I think I have to hurry up much more.

    Meeting in the middle of the ocean ??

    @Bernt
    Yesterday I bought an electrical Handplane with 1HP! When working at the centercase, this must be a great help (so I hope!).
    And our Ferdinand is the greatest. Very lovely.

    Peter
