PDR Build in the Philippines.
Wood has been butchered and epoxy spread here on Pangangan island in Bohol, Philippines.
From this:
To this:
To this:
In two and a half days. Here are the particulars.
She's an Oz version of course. Her name is "The Ducklaration of Independence" but I call her "DI Duck" for short. (Dee-Eye-Duc)
She's currently screwed but not glued in order to test the fit and make sure everything mates up OK.
The boat will have full length side air boxes and an offset daggerboard to keep the cockpit clear. There will be two external skids for stiffening along the bottom as per Michaels recommendation. Everything else will be as close to plan as I can get it.
I sent an email to Shorty and hope to have my hull number within a week or two. To the best of my knowledge, DI Duck will be the second PDR in the Philippines. Dan is building the first one in Davao Mindanao.
Time to go to work. There's boat building to be done.
I'll post updates.

Hmmm.......took me two months to get that far.
Hope I'll keep shorty busy this week too but somehow I think you will beat me to the water.
Cheers

And all this for less than the cost of a normal night out!
Now I want to build one too but it's probably going to take me two months to find enough loose change behind the couch so I can afford the plans.
CN, looking forward to watching your build and seeing your modifications.

Why am I so popular all of a sudden???
This weekend I had more visitors than I have had in the past 3 months. Saturday it was Bill from Australia for a nice chat then Ken and Annie came by for a while in the afternoon. Sunday Bill came back over with Bob and his wife. They left just after noon and then Thiery and his wife came not 10 minutes later. Just before they left at around 2pm Bob and Adeline came back for another visit and left just before dark. I turned the light on in the Garage and Boy showed up to tell me about all the happenings in the Mayor's office last week.
All this company slowed down the build and I was only able to get the sides, transoms and front-deck bulkhead epoxied together and the mast step built. I am using a stainless pin for the mast step made from the original rudder post of the pump boat.
Here are the mast step pieces.
Here is the assembly epoxied up.
I wanted to get the assembly installed and the bottom epoxied on tomorrow but my better half informs me that we have to go to Thierry and Marylie's house tomorrow. He's here from Tahiti where he works for the Frech government as an air traffic controller. Last chance to visit for a while. When there's nothing needing doing we never see anyone at all. I may have to pull an all nighter.
CN, looking forward to watching your build and seeing your modifications.

Excellent work CN,
Nice to see it going together!
Any idea of cost so far? I think Philippines prices will make everyone here VERY jealous!

Cost so far.
Any idea of cost so far?
What does that work out to? About the cost of one Harken block?
The bamboo and tarp were for a balanced lug for Aquila, my bobtailed and nosejobbed 16 foot decked sailing canoe that is now a skinny 9' pram. The old 42 square foot Gunter pulls her just fine. I decided 60 squares would be too much for her narrow beam. For "The Ducklartion of Independence" I'll start out with the 80 square foot spritsail. then work on the Oz foils and spars for the 90 square foot balanced lug.
Aquila underway, pointing up a bit with the Gunter, in light air.
